With hindsight.....
With hindsight it would have been an idea to cut the holes for the uncoupling magnets before laying the track. I am making slow but useful progress cutting them all from underneath. Good job I put all those boards on hinges.
So drill through from above 1mm, cut the hole to just leave a bit of cork underlay from underneath with a forstner bit, superglue in a disc of 10 thou styrene. ( guess how I cut all those )
Here is a pic of the uncouplers at the end of the storage sidings. The extended bit has a magnet so they latch in the up position. The board and the microswitches automatically feed the right supply to the sector plate.
From above just a bit of ballast to repair.
The other task is painting magnets. I calibrated one with a compass, with luck I’ll get them all north up first time round.
Not really exciting stuff but it needs to be done.
