I have completed construction of the new lift-out section and have connected the WFS with the OASIS District layout. Everything tested out perfectly.
I have decided to leave the tail track in place on the left side of the WFS instead of building a longer section. The extra 8 inches available doesn't help much, so no need to change things here.
The new staging area does not require scenery, but I will probably paint this a dark gray or black. It will also be hidden behind a low-level fascia board as well. Here's a video of the first test run of the connecting section.
I'm setting up a new tool to assist with operating the layout. More on that in the near future!
