Great stuff Robin. Pleased to see that one of us is getting something done!

Hi John, Chris has finished the two power boxes and they are now both operational which means I now have power to the shed yard and can run locos! All the yard turnouts are now operational, including the three way tandem and I can run a loco through the two double slips. All the turnouts operated by analogue cobalts still need to be wired into their switches so the yard and the main line are yet to be linked but things are looking good. Oh well better get back to building a few more turnouts :-).

Excellent, Robin.

 

It's kind of like your own version of Westerleigh Yard, perhaps (albeit not featuring single-ended sidings)?

Hi Tim,  Ah but there will be some as the sidings develop:-)

Hi, Robin

 

Excellent progress - well done. I won’t be back for another ten days, so I will expect to see it completed?? :-)

 

Robin,

You look to be making excellent progress with the fiddle yard and shed yard. I hope it's more pleasant working in your layout room than it is in my model room recently. It's so unbearably hot up here that I haven't done any modelling for weeks now.

 

Dave.

Dave,  The morning is the best time to work o the shed in this hot weather. I have the windows and doors open to get  a flow of air through the building. It's too hot to work in the afternoon unless you like working in a sauna although this afternoon wasn't to bad and I added two more roads of flexi-track. I shall need another 25m soon.
