Section 2 has got the outside painted in the americaN color.
The turnout in the interchange/teamtrack area has got a groundthrow installed.
The groundthrow also controls the power to the frog for the turnout.
The electrics for the frog has been installed aswell.

After a period no activity, the work on the module is continuing.

The sides of section 1 has been painted in the americaN color.

The track of section 1 has been painted aswell.

2009-09-20:

Today the module was moved to another location in my appartment were it could be connected to other modules and be tested with real trains.

That went very well.

2009-09-19:
The wireing for section1 is done aswell.
The whole module is testrun, see videoclip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVYq-z0c2S8
There seams to be some problems with the last Conrad turnoutmotor.
Might need to replace it.

2009-09-18:

Done with the wirening of section2.

Attached the turnout control switches to the side of the section, in a hole so they don't get damaged during transport.

2009-09-16:

The interchange/teamtracks was laid today, so now are all track laid.

The interchange/teamtracks has a lower elevation than the mainline.

2009-09-15:
Went and bought 3 Conrad turnout motors today.
Did a testinstall on the intercange/teamtrack turnout, and it seams to work just fine.
So now it's just the other two left, and making some kind of simple controlpanel for now.

2009-09-14:

The remaining of the mainline track was laid today.

Next will be install of turnout motors for the mainline turnouts.

Need to get the motors first though.

2009-09-13:

The roadbed (rubbercork) for the main track was cut and glued in place.

The work with laying the track then begun.

The diamond, two turnouts and the connection track between them is in place.

The name of this module comes from that it has had an earlier life as a On30 module (narrow guage in 1:48 in H0 track). As to few around me were building On30 modules, I stripped the module of track and it was ready to be converted (transformed) to an americaN module.

The new module will be a were two lines crosses in 90 degree angle.
There will also be a connection track between the lines.
A small interchange/teamtrack will also be added.

First I had to drill new holes matching the americaN ends.
As the old module is a little wider than a normal americaN (500 mm instead of 400 mm), the holes were drilled so other americaN would be aligned along one edge and not centered.

Then the legs had to be adjusted to work with americaN.
Two new legs was made aswell.



When the module was assebled for the first time, the turnouts and diamond was placed were they would be attached later on.
