Up the Creek Column - 4
6: This view of main staging may give a better idea of
its size. There are nine tracks here and there will be
10 more on the other side of the peninsula's spine.
Tony Koester says you should determine the number
of staging tracks needed by estimating how many you
need, then doubling that number and adding one. We
hope the BC&SJ will have enough.
trains ran without issue. There were a couple of hold-out
locos, though, which needed their wheels cleaned before
they behaved themselves, but that's been the case forever.
We had a pretty good time running the trains and nearly all the
brownies were eaten – an important consideration so I wouldn't
be finishing that job myself after the session ended.
What's next?
Finishing the main (lower deck) staging areas is high priority. It's
not that the extra capacity is needed yet – there's plenty of space
already (5 and 6). But I want to get those tracks and turnouts
