Evening all
not much by way of an update as my Christmas project, pannier 5757 hasn't quite been finished and I'm off to Southampton this weekend with one of my other layouts.
The next board beckons and as usual, ply trackbed and laminate flooring underlay have been applied. This board has the main Axbridge end cross over/end loop and the entry into the down yard. It also sees the start of the Callow Hill quarry stone loading siding which rose away towards the Five Ways bridge. Not entirely sure why but I think it was to aid gravity shunting of the siding which had a covered loading bay.
There'll only be one more turnout to build after this and two more boards to do. Most of that will be plain track so the end is in sight, albeit still a long way away! In the meantime I've been cutting sleepers and punching the occasional rivet. Now if I could just find my cutting broaches...
I've been transferring 'completed' (they're not) boards to the garage and you can see three of them in this picture, together with the remaining two stacked at the end.
