We angled the track layout so it's not running parallel with the board edge.

This also helps us get a bit more in and seems to make better use of the space.

We have decided to use wire-in-tube for the point control.

I have some bits from MSE already.

Electrical wiring should be very simple, as I expect to run only one engine 'in steam' .

The yard is completely seperate from the through track. If we want to transfer stock, we will have to use a loco-lifter.

I intend putting in a two way switch to change control between the yard and the trough track.

I have soldered dropper wires to the track joiners so I should have an electical connection to each section of track.

Both set track points are insulfrog.

I want to run DCC and DC as most of my existing locos are chipped for DCC.

I have the Bachman Eazy DCC controller which is usually okay for our needs except it tends to run hot so has to be rested after a while.

Jen wants us to use the Hornby controller that came with the set and the unchipped Caledonian pug.

We will just plug in whichever controller we need for the loco in use.
