More wiring

At first glance this may appear to be a mirror image of the picture from Sunday's post, but this is taken from the other side of the wall. The red/black Power District bus and terminals are complete through this section of staging, and the 3 blue/yellow Auto Reverse (AR) busses have been set up. In addition, the subroadbed for the upper tier track near the wall has been extended through the "window".

I'm now measuring and cutting the rest of the plywood subroadbed, while also working on laying road bed and track for the rear of the upper tier.

Looking at the photo one may wonder why the grid benchwork for staging ends so abruptly. If you refer back to my early post introducing this layout you'll see that there is a small alcove on the middle of this west wall, and that this will be the location of the helix that connects between the two decks. This picture is taken from a spot just next to that alcove, at the top of the stairs. The grid benchwork ends here, and a bridge will be built to connect this track to the track along the west wall on other side of the alcove. I'll post on the building of the bridge later, but fortunately I'll be reusing the bridge method I used with the first staging attempt, so it should go fairly quickly.
