Ralph and I spent an entire eight hours + out on the line today, and as of oh dark thirty shut down, all is good...
Village pad is raised to the right elevation, irrigation issues have been resolved, culverts and vehicle roadways are in to the village pad and connected to outlying areas, track is cleaned, power distribution gremlins are neutralized, much vegetation clean up has been realized, some building maintenance performed, and four trains eventually ran simultaneously over the layout.
There was some other stuff, too, but it was nit-noid in comparison to getting things running once again.
The basics are "good to go", and the remaining "fluff" looks to be on schedule for the NGRC tours and MLS open house...
Much more to do, but things are definitely looking functional for the onslaught...
We're going rock hunting tomorrow...
