Hope everyone had a great Christmas holiday and good start to the New Year!
Spent the last week I'm off completing a freight car project for a client and getting started on my new trackage. The last couple of days I decided to start on the hardest part of the project, the removable section across the aisle. This is not an easy straight piece of track that is on a square piece of wood, but an angled piece of wood with curved track. So, definitely not easy. I went down to the Home Depot to get a quality piece of wood, cut in a 2' X 4'. Knowing I would need only a small piece of it. Turns out, I need all of it because of cutting mistakes and redoing it. Definitely the third time is the charm. I also did an adjustment on the track plan. A passing siding will be added to the trackage which will enhance the operational state of the layout.

| The passing siding will end here at the canal. |

| Trackage will extend through the wall towards the helix. This area will be renamed Parker, where there was a passing siding was in the 1920's. |

| Here is my 3rd try at the removable section. It's a nice snug fit. |

Holder on the other side. The right bracket is really not needed but would look better. Have I told you how much I hate angles? Glad I have a nice saw to do all this cutting, Equipment for the woodworking in MR is a big plus!
