Well hello there.
Haven't blogged in a few weeks, due primarily to me exhibiting at Nailsea, then York and Cheltenham on consecutive weekends with all the preparation that goes with it. Still, a very good time was had by all.
It's also rather weird not having Lizzy around any more as I find myself without an operable p4 layout.
In the meantime I've been building some track for a friend who's planning to build a model of Wookey on the Cheddar Valley line. We've compressed things a bit, straightened out the siding into the paper mill and taken the other end of the goods loop 'off scene' but the final plan is fairly representative of the prototype and will give operating potential.
The track work is a mixture of ply and plastic chairs with the odd rivet here and there. Plain track will use whatever I can find in the track box! I've had to make sure I use the EM jigs and gauges though. As usual I've laid it on laminate flooring underlay. The ply under that will be laid on extruded foam I believe. Not far off now...
Anyway, here are some photos.

Ta

Main line towards Cheddar is also now laid and being weighted down until the glue goes off. I've used all the track bases now so will have to see what else is in the track box!
