Hi Robin.

 

That all looks very well thought out and neatly executed. I've incorporated a dead section for the last half metre leading to the fiddle yard on "Holt" which will be fed from the fiddle yard area when a cassette is in position.

I must say, your safety barriers appear rather substantial - designed to stop a scale 600 ton train traveling at 150 mph?

The first photo caused a double take with me thinking the curved plain track was not layed, so I presume it's an older photo than the others, as you've clearly got a full, continuous circuit now.

Hi Dave,

I edited the picture to show it was an earlier photo as obviously the track has been laid since. The barriers are indeed very substantial but only to provide the weight on the micro-switches needed to operate them not for a 600 ton train:-)
