Hi

New photograph added 15:50 21-09-13

Since the last post I have been working on the fiddleyard. The photograph below shows a birds eye view, with a train in the back siding.

The back siding is designed to hold the passanger train and the general freight train, both without thier engines. The middle siding is designed for a loaded mineral train and the guards van between trains. The front siding is designed for the empty mineral train.

The train arrives from Van and drives onto the cassette. The working cassette will be longer, by 80mm, this will allow the full train to be accommodates.

The cassette is then moved onto the track, where the train is to be stored and then the is driven off.

I am unable to join the two compounents of the cassette, because currently don't have a working soldering iron, following dropping it.

To access the earlier blog entries you can click on blog name at the top right of the blog entry, or the link below.

When I finish track laying last night, the thought occurred to me that if the fiddleyard tracks were slightly nearer, then I could fit another in.

A journey into town, on the bus, another yard of track purchased from the model shop, and another hours work and we now have four fiddleyard roads, as shown below.
