Hi

Location, choosing a location to model, which can fit into the space available. The Jersey Eastern Railway is an interesting prototype was not a sleepy branch line, but was a suburban railway. Trains ran at 1/2 hour intervals at peak times.

The model is now based on Le Focq, which is a station, just before the main passing station of Pontac.

Sorry the locomotive and rolling stock are not correct.

Location, locating the fiddle yard access boards, so that the tracks line up, is very important. This is not made easier when building a micro layout, than building a larger one.

Location, also transfers the DCC bus signal from the main baseboard to the fiddle yard boards. This uses the location pins, which are made from brass rod and PCB material.
