Today I have been working on the control panel for the hidden section of the layout which is by far the biggest wiring task of the lot. And this is my third iteration, having been unsatisfied with my two previous attempts. The multipole connectors are the excellent "Ewe-Link 2" available from Elite Baseboards, with whom I have no association apart from being a very satisfied customer. These are easy to use although you may notice the sticky labels with numbers on which I printed to overcome the difficulty in reading the numbers moulded on the plugs.

One day this will all be behind me and I will be on to the fun stuff :-)

I had a good day on the Isle of Wight yesterday riding the IOWSR (Calborne and Freshwater) and photographing panoramas to use as backscenes. Colin Duff, Modelling Secretary of the Southern Electric Group kindly took the photos for me.
