@DISTURBED8111993 Not boring to me, I have a lot of fun running this car up and down the track. Everything works including the signals, switch, grade crossing bell and flashers, it's a chunk of New Haven Railroad from the late 1880's through 1950's.

@randy242008 I only own a hundred feet of backyard, if I had the area, I'd lay a 1/2 mile of track. I think you missed the fact that several sections of rail date to 1886, all the signals work , the switch works, the grade crossing circuit works. It's a working display and has been a feature story in 3 local daily / weekly newspapers over the past 10 years.

Amazing Job. Have you worked on the railroad before? I don't know much about switch assembly, but seems like a huge undertaking.
