coombe junction - A little more...

Update - Fairly mundane tasks but some progress tonight. Firstly, adjusting Board No 3 to the same 'working plane' height as Board No 2, secondly building up the track bed to match (I ran out of imported DIY cork floor tiles so had to use card) and thirdly, laying the track down to form the gentle curve in the dries.

 

The mock up buildings previously made will need to be trimmed to match the curve of the run-a-round loop but there is enough room for a loco to pass and I have now adjusted the length of the loco lift area to just squeeze a 66 :P

 

Next week, I will try and complete the turnout and try and get some basic wiring in, strictly for 'testing' purposes only you understand.

 

A few pics, featuring my 'desperately awaiting some attention' Farish 25...'patiently awaiting conversion' Bachfar 37...and 'soon to be pensioned off' 25 year old Peco clay opens complete with my hoods made (I recall) from those silver foil dishes that take away food usually arrives in...

Matthew - Thanks

 

These photos were posted late last night...and on reflection today, they are not that great and don't show very much...but I think this board will start to come together quickly now if I can maintain the enthusiasm through the summer...

Those clays look good snaking round the curve.

 

Thanks Donw - They are just for effect but are terribly crude by todays modelling standards - I should replace them with the kits in my gloat box, but the thought of making 18 of the same wagon is perhaps something best saved for the long dark winter evenings.
