A quick update to say that my brief stay in England has allowed me to progress the track building and most of its is at least soldered if not gapped and primed. This coming week I return to France and will start on module 3 so that track laying can begin on the scenic part of the layout.

I quick word of thanks to Martin Wynne and Templot for providing his software to take the strain out of track planning and building. That it even works on my Mac (with Crossover) makes this all the more satisfying (I have been a Mac user for 23 years and have a total and irrational fear of using Windows, even one of those virtual Windows programs on my Mac).
