Track & Field, Shepaug, Litchfield High School vs Northwestern Regional High School in Winsted, Conn.
Thought I'd post a color version of yesterday's daily photo because I'm really not sure which version I like better.
Please notice the Sunfield grain elevator beside the tracks a couple miles down the way. You can just barely make it out in this photo.

The road paralleling the tracks is Gates Road. Do note that:
1) I'm (also) stopped on Gates.
2) A driver making the left turn indicated by that sign will remain on Gates.
3) If that hypothetical driver turns to the right--which is permitted, though it's a dead end--he or she will still be on Gates.
CN's Track PD10 in the Pointe St-Charles area of Montreal served a P&H mill till approximately June 2023. Condos are expected to replace it.

This is what I use to lay my tracks. Attach the blue piece to your cross axle piece. Click on the green piece one time, drag it down until the wheel barely clears the tread piece. Click the select all icon, drag the entire model over the tread until it lines up. After that, it is just a matter of duplicating treads until you reach a gear. Then use the hinge tool and "bend" the links around the gears. Takes a bit of practice, but once you get it, it goes pretty fast. Do not rely on the number of treads that LDD requires, the program does not account for tightness or looseness in the chain links. The links sometimes won't get really close to some gears, you just have to fudge it a bit. I saved the "track laying helper" as a file so that I can import it quickly into a model. Hope this helps. Any probs just ask.
Update of set 894/452.
So many of the really early Classic Space sets were so much more grounded in near-future science than their later counterparts, and the Mobile Tracking Station certainly fits this vibe. At the time I remember thinking the set was a bit boring and ugly, being basically a grey box on wheels; these days its more realistic near-future vibe and clear, recogniseable purpose are part of the charm.
Seeing as I seem to be on an "updated rebuilds of old Classic Space sets" kick at the moment, I couldn't resist.
