People have asked why there haven't been any new construction photos since May. The fact is, once the benchwork was built and the track laid, the changes became much less dramatic. Laying all of that N-scale track and creating scenery goes much slower than the heavy construction involved in building the underlying framework.

Paul Petrzelka installs one of the Digitrax radio receivers. Like the HO layout, the N-scale layout uses Digitrax DCC and most club members will operate using radio throttles. Henry Ellett installs one of dozens of turnouts in the main classification yard on the lower level of the double-deck layout.

Since the N-scale layout never really reached the scenery stage at the BSME's previous home, members must also build all the structures that will help bring the new layout to life. One of the major industries on the new layout will be a large steel mill. Member Gregg Dunphy watches as his train rolls past this large structure on the upper level of the layout.
