Waiting for the glue to dry Entry posted by ChrisG September 8, 2016 668 views Share More sharing options... Followers 2 A few finishing touches to the baseboards today, then the start of tracklaying. Now waiting for the glue and ballast to dry on the station throat pointwork. Will be starting the trackbuilding at the weekend. Chris 3

ChrisG 278 Posted September 9, 2016 Sadly the tub contained Cornish sea sand... Which has got everywhere it shouldn't have in the kitchen. The cat's away for a few days and this mouse is playing! Link to comment
RMweb Gold Godfrey Glyn 1,446 Posted September 10, 2016 RMweb Gold Chris I have searched through all my books on the Ventnor West line and don't think they ever had a Class 08, even to test its track! Watch out for the trap! Link to comment
ChrisG 278 Posted September 15, 2016 Damn - your e-mail has reminded me that I have completely overlooked the trap points at Ventnor West. The 08 was an expedient: I needed a test loco I could rely on whilst building the other layout. I was so impressed with the running qualities (once I had added some decent pickups) that I've remained very fond of it and it turns up all over the place, even hauling passenger trains between Newport and Cowes. It is going to be named "Vectis" one day. Chris Link to comment
