A very busy day but got a bit late and dark again so no pic of progress again I am afraid. Finished off the track this morning and right on cue a box of six Cobolts arrives. Great service from http://www.modelrailwaysdirect.co.uk/ only ordered yesterday, very good price and very reasonable postage. Have fitted most of the motors which was very easy and seem to work well from an old mobile charger.

Have actually managed to run some trains although the wiring is not complete yet and is unfortunately a bit messy. Will tidy up a bit when I am sure it works and get some colour coding going.

It got pretty hot in the conservatory this afternoon which was a good test as found my clearances on the traverser all but disappeared due to expansion - need to get the file out a bit.

Got a couple of problems with mysterious shorts but am sure I can get them sorted. Have been using with DCC (NCE Powercab) but think I might just wire (well twist two wire together for now!) an old Clipper in tomorrow and get the running sorted out on that first. Really need to get all that nasty sawdust up off the patio though so we can actually sit outside as the weather is suitable for once.
