Evenin' all.

I have been busy the past week wiring up the little layout board and installing connectors and switches.

Even a simple , one turnout layout seems to involve a lot of wire stripping and soldering.

Power is now running through the rails and 3-way - the latter after I traced a short down to a sleeper which was not quite cut through in one place..

However, and frustratingly,onto the loco used to test it out in DC ( both my blue diesels are DCC ready now), a Johnson class 2 0-6-0 with a Union Mills tender, avec turned down wheels. The association drivers pass quite easily through the three routes when pushed, but the tender wheels stick in places.

I am hoping that when I connect my NCE cab and stick a diesel on, the association drop-ins will perform better, otherwise its back to that tedious filing and resoldering to make it traverse smoothly.

Here is the wiring finally settled on - there are a few differences form the original plan ( which I still can't see much wrong with logically anyway!)

Regards
