Side trip to On30 on the road to a layout

For a while I have been a member of the James River Division of the NMRA's On30 group.  One of the things that you are supposed to do is bring a module to the meets.  This task has become the butt of good kidding when I never seem to have one.  Finally, I decided that this needed to end so a new module is under construction.  The junction module consists of one mainline track splitting into two mainlines while going through a #2.5 wye which is equivalent to a #5 turnout. The turnout is a Walther's code 83 with modified ties.  This is an interim step until I obtain some low profile ties. The rest of the track is Micro Engineering On30 code 83 flex. The track work should be done tonight with the wiring going in on Friday night to be ready for Saturday's get together. 

 I may not connect it since it won't be fully tested by then, but feedback is important.   

Pictures will follow.
