All the Staging trackage is operational and under the control of the Java Model railroad Interface software. All blocks are wired and detected. Some automation scripts are running. Several issues have been satisfactorally resolved, including DCC booster capacity, inrush current problems, and QSI programming issues. Many issues and much wiring remains, but all basic concepts and architectural issues are resolved. Additional wiring should be just replication. Operational testing of both the elctronics and the track will continue, but Phase 6 has been started in parallel, as of 1 Feb 2008.
