Greetings.

I think seeing the Derby layout ( and a couple of days break) must have inspired me a bit, because this afternoon I took a few hours to relay the track for ****** on the new board A.

Here are a few pictures. You can see that I have added an extra point/ siding for the coal yard, which will make the crossing interesting... However there are prototypes on the old Midland.

The turnouts are reliant on pbc sleepers for switching, so I hope that is not disaster No2 waiting to happen..! You will see that I have introduced a good few soldered pcb sleepers at weak points during the rebuilding. It was necessary to glue some thin styrene strips under these to make them the same depth as the sleeper base ( as mentioned on Steve's blog recently).

The easitrac is PVA glued straight down to the plywood, and appears to be robust and I am hopeful this time of decent performance.

Regards,

Chris
