Scratchbuilding the Shed!

I've spent the last few weeks building the Depot for Chamberlain Junction, (Which could soon have a change in name). Made from a mixture of Wills, Carboard, Photographic Papers, and Plastruct components, its starting to come on. Its by no means perfect for now, as this is the first time I have ever scratch built!! But I'm hoping you all like it. Still Plenty to do on the depot in due course.

Trackwork

Well, Trackwork has begun on the layout, I'm using Pecos fantastic 'Peco Bullhead', Well, (Just deciding if to use Peco Code 75 Electrofrog or Peco Bullhead Points!!), (Image Attached). The Bullhead fish plates do prove to be a challenge to fit! There have been a slight few changes to the layout, Including Era, Track Design and the way it is all sitting, all yet to be confirmed with the use of a pin hammer and pins! The next step for me will be drilling some holes for point motors etc.
