Had a mammoth 9 hour session today.

Legs were constructed, final wiring tweaks and faults sorted - still some minor tweaking required and the top loop needs to be done but for now we have two running loops and a fully operational shuttle.

Fiddle yard needed some major tweaks before it would work

Resolved the problem with the shuttle signal but then found a problem with the green LED so I'll replace it during the next session

We were testing on a slope - not ideal testing conditions but at least everything seems to work so far. Once the top loop is done and some final scenery tweaks finished we'll give the track a good clean up.

Again for testing I used the Bachmann EPB, this time for the shuttle. I also used two 0-6-2 shunters, these I also find can be temperamental so again these locos are great testers for the rest of the fleet.

As the layout now stands on its own legs it's much higher up, this should mean no more crouching over to work, no more borrowing tables and no more back ache!
