Jan 2012: Control Center-I originally had a Bachmann DCC unit (left) built in along with an MRC #6100 power pack. The items between the two are switches that selected either one or could be set to allow a third power pack to be quickly attached through the connector shown. The Bachmann system worked the first time I tested it, but would not work again so I removed it. The direction switch is toward the upper right.	March 2013: After a bit more work, the control center is done. The MRC powerpack and direction switch are inside the Syn-Chron manufacturing plant. The Bachmann DCC system has been removed. The connector for an auxiliary power pack is on the front board and the remaining toggle switch is under the small piece of machinery sitting at the building side.
	Jan 2012: The seven black boxes with blue buttons are Atlas switch throw controls. Below is the electrical connection for power to the main tracks and sidings. Only one siding power switch is installed.

Jan 2012: The board is propped up while the wiring for the upper track is being installed.	The underside of the board. Plastic tubing is used as conduit to hold the track wires. This method is fast and eliminates attaching wires to the woodwork.

Jan 2012: Work begins on the trackplan for the lower level.
	April 2012: Track location is finalized and roadbed is installed along with some of the track.

Feb 2012: The roadbed is installed at the other end of the section.	March 2012: The abutment for the crossover track is built and a retaining wall installed.

March 2012: The track in Apogee Canyon has been laid and the opposite retaining wall is built.	April 2012: The crossover bridge is installed and undergoing wiring. Note that the small building sits on the joint between the two sections. It covers a steel plate that bolts the two sections together. The section of track that crosses the seam is removeable.

March 2013: The ground cover has been installed, the site locations defined, the building shapes roughed in.

March 2013: The upper track area is almost finished. While the jub-jub plants are glued in, the exposed cut needs repainting. A boxcar sits on the siding.	March 2013: The parking lot of Syn-Chron showing the mobile power supply (blue boxcar), the yellow office building, a piece of equipment, and the main manufacturing building. Front of the section shows the siding power switches and the AC plug-in.
March 2012 and 2013: The same location from two directions, one year apart.
