That is really looking spot on

does it have part of the Chillicothe Subdivision?

Right now, the tracks have been laid as far north as Paxton. I may include the Gilman Sub.

[johnnyboy99]

Good, because Bob Wirth’s Chillicothe Sub is missing most of the adjacent ICG tracks, even the ones that go right by Corwith!

I am glad somebody is doing the IC/CN route....I grew up in Tuscola so the parts between Mattoon and Champaign are very familiar to me. I spend many days down by the diamonds in Tuscola. Look forward to the completed work

That looks incredible! How did you manage to fit the diamond rails together? Apparently, you didn't put rails on top of each other to create the diamond shape.

there are diamond shapes (A1tXover_d as I use A/Xtracks) and I use trial and error to find the correct angle
