Finished with the track and point-work building

Slowly, slowly I managed to finish with the track laying. All the track and the turnouts are in position, glued with PVA to the baseboard.

I used a small Graham Farish wagon, converted to 2mm standards to test the track by slightly tipping and taping the baseboard, and everything looks to be fine.

 

And I have just started with the electrics. Actually, half of the rails are already wired.

The next step will be to build the controller and make the real track test by running the converted Class 24.

Trackwork looks very nice. If you have a meter handy it's useful to check the track connections before attaching to the bus bars. Also check for shorts (usually gaps not clear). Once all is connected together they can be hard to trace.

Thank you for your kind comments!

 

Don, I forgot to mention that I did check for shorts before starting wiring the rails. And I've found a few shorts, including a common crossing.
