I haven’t had time to take pictures yet, but before I left for Chicago, the benchwork is now all the way through Strelna and at the northeast end of the Third Copper River Crossing (the one east of Chitina).   Unfortunately, in addition to being out of town, I’ve suffered a few other setbacks.  The 500′ spool of 14 AWG DCC bus was stolen shortly after being dropped off on my front porch by the delivery guy, so I’m out of wire for a couple days, and I’m waiting on more flex track and turnouts.  Because of those two items, it’ll be a few days until rails catch up with the benchwork, but I’m hoping by the end of March to have the upper deck mainline connected to the helix.

Pictures when I get back to Colorado.
