Lot of work and progress in the past couple of weeks. After receiving delivery of all the Peco track from Hattons, I've slowly started laying it down along with foam Woodlands Scenic Track-Bed. Here's a couple of photos from the track work going in to place. First, from the north of the station:
And then another the shows an overview of the whole station trackwork, complete with some pins to hold things in place
I had a little trouble with clean cuts from the Xuron track cutters - I wasn't originally filing them down as I didn't think it was needed, but it clearly was and provided much smoother finishes and made the track joiners go on much easier. So, there's a couple of lengths of flextrack I probably should cut again as I've ended up with gaps a little too big between the different sections. I have plenty of track, and this is still a bit of a learning experience. It's also hard when so much of the trackwork was fluid and moving in trying to figure out the curve of the flextrack, so now that most of it is in place, it should be easier to get the curves right on the additional sections to re-cut.
I've found that a lot of what I'm wanting to try and share is easier done in video, so while I'll keep this blog to share some photos and build steps along the way, I'll also then put together a little more detail via video on a YouTube channel. Feel free to subscribe to the channel to follow along and learn more as the build progresses! Here I show an overview of all the track work in place, along with all of the underlay completed throughout the station:
