First move under power

Afternoon
I've been wiring. I'd forgotten how long it takes and just how many mistakes you can make along the way!
But on the plus side, I now have the first board powered up and working. The only track left to build is the run off to the (as yet unconstructed fiddle yard). It's on DC at the moment but wire sized and installed for eventual DCC.
The water works siding is in and you can see the prairie shuffling back and forwards on the attached video. I'm not turning the board over yet to photograph as it's all a bit untidy. I do admire those that produce beautifully neat wiring looms. I don't ever seem to manage it.
There's a bridge to add along with a stone loading point on this board in the foreground (in mock up at least) before I work back towards the station, wiring each board in turn. Still, at least I can start to play trains!

Very nice, Andrew, and I think that Assistant Deputy Chief Inspector Venton should go a bit easy on your poor fireman!

Time for a word with that fireman, a headlamp on both ends Andrew?

Well done Andrew - keep up the good work!

 

Thanks folks

I'm surprised there was a lamp on either end knowing me...

Hi Andrew, good to see things moving along - literally. I know what you mean about the wiring!
