Construction resumes - the Bulleid Branchline is operational...
... well almost. Wiring, scenics still to do - hell I've still got to finish the main layout yet. I think I've created a monster, the layout now stands at 26' 6' x 11'! Comprising:
Phase 1 - the original twin loop and sidings and terminus station
Phase 2 - the return loop, underpass and overpass loops, turntable, terminus became through station and station halt at end of the return loop
Phase 3 - was tweaking the original layout from lessons learned on Phase 2, basically repositioning point motors underneath the track (where possible) and changing the entry point to the overpass to give a smoother entry for trains.
Phase 4 - the BBL or Bulleid Branchline, a new loop consisting of radius 4 curves and long radius points, connected to both Phase 1 and Phase 2. Designed and tested with my FIATrains LMS Twins to ensure smooth running and no derailments. It also has a removable section to allow access to the remaining loft space!!
These are composite photo's of the new construction, so they aren't perfectly aligned!
That's all for now, I'll have a loco update late
