This blog is to document the building of a model railroad, the Paducah and Lake Erie. The free-lance design is set in the current time, and meant to replicate the coal-hauling roads of southwestern Pennsylvania. This version of the P&LE is a bridge line that derives its name from my wife's home town (and well known to Illinois Central buffs) and our former long time residence about 50 miles south of Lake Erie.

Progress on helix installation


We're making progress on the helix installation. This morning, Bob Gouirand showed up, and we got the first of two and-a-half revolutions installed. I now have to lay roadbed and track on the portion completed since the second revolution is only 4" higher and would make track work quite difficult if not impossible. More later.
