On Saturday, I decided that the layout needed a space to keep the DCC controller while not in use. There are five spaces between the wooden pillars along the front of the baseboard - the outer two are storage spaces for rolling stock, the next one in on each side is a switch panel and the one in the middle was empty. I rectified this late on Saturday by fitting a small sliding tray on wooden runners.

Speaking of the switch panels either side of the controller - these are not complete at the moment (in fact, one hasn't been started), but they will replicate functions already provided by the DCC controller.

I fitted some LEDs to the signal box yesterday. It doesn't have a proper interior, so the windows are covered with greaseproof paper. Someone has been busy decorating the trees by the station in time for Christmas (I wired these up about a week ago for Hornby's festive photograph competition).

The terrier has no connection to the layout.
