Its been ages since I have updated my progress.

Sine my last post, There has been a massive change in the spatical geography of what I am leaning to call sandycock junction. ( Ironically its not going to be a sandy place... :/ )

Jobs that have been completed since I last posted

- The house now has been 90% completed, including lights, a fully furnished loungeroom and a fully furnished kitchen. The fire place has an red LED installed to give it a red glow. More pictures will be posted in a future blog.

In the mean time however the house with its lower level lighting can be seen bellow.

-The land has seen a rapid terraformation with the addition of a plaster and foam scenery. There will need to be alot of work done still.

Most of the big changes have occured beneath the board.

-Cobalt point moters have been wired up with frog switching to prevent shorting on the insul frogs ( eventually points will be electrofrogs. IMHO its the only way to go .

-Deans plugs are used to connect the track busses between the base board joiners.

-A switch board ( the thingy with the track diagram on it) has been made up for the points and installed on the layout. Its imbeded into the scenery.

-Dingham couplers are now being installed on the rolling stock.

They are surprisingly easy to make and install. I found however that there is a lack of an online instruction guide beyond that of the one on the dingham website. To show how easy they are to make and IMHO how they are much better than sprat and winkle I will be putting another blog entry together to show how they work.

The list of stuff to do is still masive. The terrain will be covered in alot of greens and yellows when I have time to do it. + it needs a back scene.

Should form a great photo diorama by the time it is completed

I am already planning the next one and the things that I will change. ( yay for learning experiences. )
