I have this short end of baseboard on the top deck outside the main loop that after a bit of playing around with track I have decided will work as a small TMD. I haven't built one of these before.

The thing is I wouldn't mind having a bit of modern lighting on this end, plus its next to the bench so good as a test track for analog models. 

I am building this somewhat on the cheap, Track, wiring, point control, electronics is from my spares, models the same. Might use scale scenes for several of the models (they have some free ones), I have some card and just need printer ink.

Era - 1980s / 1990s (since this is when most of my 'modern' stock is dated from.

Years ago I regularly used to pass the train care facility in Bournemouth which borders the A35 (on the old Bournemouth West station approach trackbed). There was a greenish building which I always wondered what it was but now I think its a train wash facility, so I have scratchbuilt one. I twisted together two coloured Pipe cleaners for the wash brushes. I think the result looks quite effective, bit of touching up to do with paintwork. Roof was from a previous scratchbuilt canopy. Ideally it would be better if this was on the track that the 156 is on so I might shift it and have the fuel depot on the other line. Still thinking about it and might need to relay the track a bit to get it to fit.

Controller is a Gaugemaster Model 100 linked to a gaugemaster transformer, conveniently located next to the workbench. Might need a walkaround plug in as the main controller is several metres away and could create difficulties for exiting onto the mainline which is on a seperate controller and in a different section or I leap frog the control wiring and install another relay to control that (now that's an idea). Plan is to have a separate CBUS CANPAN down this end with an event setup on a small panel to change points and signals for accessing mainline but also have the same event setup on the main control panel.

Test loco is the 07 which happily trundles around this board.
