One intended consequence of having the electrical work finally finished and making headway in cleaning up and organizing the basement will be bringing the Ingleton shelf back to life. Honestly, it has fuctioned more like a junk drawer than a small switching layout since work started on the 4th Subdivision nearly four years ago, mainly due to my removing the command station for use on the larger railroad. Last summer I picked up an NCE Power Cab system with the possibility of revitalizing Ingleton in mind.
With the electrical work completed, the Ingleton shelf has power and a ceiling receptacle for lighting; I can move forward again here.While my initial main focus moving forward will be on upgrading the basement into an inviting train room, Ingleton will again be in play. One role will be as a practice plank, experimenting with some new scenery techniques. Another role will be in switching practice, whether as an Inglenook puzzle or as a few spots to switch at the edge of a yard a few decades before my railroad set in 1954.
