Back from exotic holiday location, Alderney, and rearing to go again, with my modelling projects.

Looking at the layout with fresh eyes, having not seen it for about 2 weeks, I noticed that there was a problem with sleeper spacing on the first section of track I layed.

The bottom of the track, with the glue scaped off.

There is rarely an unsolvable problems with models, they can be overcome by applying some ingenuity and a little skill. I carefully lifted the track using a scalpel scrapped off the contact adhesive residue. Then I re glued the track into position carefully making sure that the spacing was correct. I added two extra sleepers to make the spacing even.

Incidentally whilst on Alderney, I travelled on a train formed of 2 1938 ex Bakerloo coaches pulled and then pushed by an 0-6-0 diesel locomotive from Mornington Cresent station, which is located in Bryne on the North of the island.
