Long time readers might recall last February(!) I bought a ready built baseboard to make a new fiddle yard for my EM gauge layout "The Works Yard", last February note!

Well over the last year I've cut some holes in it, added a new level to it and generally faffed around.

The point is the layout is due at both Devizes and Swindon in March, so I'd better pull my finger out .

The plan is as follows, try and get all the track laid this week including any droppers from the plain track. Next fix magnets to the underside of the turntable to trip a reed switch which will change the polarity on the turntable via a relay , finally test operation of same and fit ply front and end to fiddle yard to smarten things up a little and prevent any "accidents"

A piccy follows below and yes there will be a point installed to complete running round of arriving trains, and the sharp curve for the engine shed at the front will be in the region of 2' - 2' 6" radius - OK for my little engines though.
