These are some photos of the construction process for my new version of the UP Cascade Subdivision.

Bench work at Cascade Summit with the Eugene yard in the distance.

The helix used to transition between the upper and lower level.  The helix is 50 inches in diameter and has 2 1/2 revolutions.

A shelf was constructed for holding the Digitrax booster.

Bench work for the Oakridge area is on the left and Fields is on the right.  You can see the difference in elevation between the two sites.

Bench work for Wicopee.

Switch installation on the spline roadbed.  The track is laid on a spline of one inch thick masonite separated by masonite spacers.

A view of the spline roadbed on top of 1x4 risers.  This will become the Salmon Creek bridge when finished.

The spline is held together with latex liquid nails.  Clamps were used to hold the spline together while the glue dried.

A view of the spline in place at Fields.

A view of the cardboard bracing put in pace to hold the paper towels and plaster scenery base.
