The golden spike (a bit rusty)
At DRAG last night we were able to see the full track laid for the first time, thanks to excellent work by John (Re6/6), and Pete had done some of the wiring looms so we could dispense with some of the twisty wires. Only one P4 and the 00 track powered up as yet, but we did have a kind of golden spike ceremony - on the left is an old Trix Standard 5 converted to P4 by the late Nigel Hunt, and on the right some GWR thing (whose pony truck seems to have run over the golden spike and fallen off ):
We did manage a static line up across six tracks, heavily D&E oriented - 8CEP on the 00 track to the left, then four P4 running lines and the M7 on the loop to the right.
Overall view with no gaps in the track
And a chance to give my 8CEP a run out on the 00 track
