The railway cottages block retaining wall to the Carlisle down line platform above has been an interesting undertaking due to correlating the Google earth image with the few others taken at ground level. It also affected the position of the rail side cottages to include the access road and enable a better baseboard/diorama joint for the next adjoining module two.

The extra 50 mm for the above had resulted in revising SAC Bridge 115 being positioned closer to the South end of module one than originally intended.
So along with the embankments around the Bridge 115, most of the foam insulation terrain is completed and all that remains is brushing on a coat of brownish acrylic paint over it.

Now then, I’ve been rather involved in GWRM club matters, one involving wiring up Peco 3 way points for our exhibition layout fiddle yard and return loop (the second fiddle yard and return loop) that gives us continuous running and multiple options for engine/train consists.

Because I will be needing some myself, I thought it would be an good practice to be able to wire one up first. The Peco wiring instructions/schematic are pretty good if one takes the time and reads them thoroughly. I made the mistake of misplacing a link wire on the wrong contact that after an hours frustration made me recheck the schematic wiring diagram and correct my error. The remaining two 3 ways took me 3/4 of an hour to fully complete complete with Frog/LED switching, which is always the way when you know what you are doing!
