It has been a while since I was able to post anything so here is an update of work done over the past week.

I have managed to lay exactoscale 5mm foam on the three end boards, add the templot trackplan as an overlay and finally lay the track on the main line. This end of the layout is where the main line starts to rise to attack the 1 in 60 Fishponds bank and modelling this section of the incline has proved a challenge getting the gradient consistent over the length of the pair of boards. To add to challenge the trackwork into the shed yard and coal plant is at a lower level then the main line so the double slip is on a steeper gradient.

I was hoping to add some photos of this work but unfortunately this site is having problems with uploading photos so you'll have to be patient.

In the meantime I collected the rest of the laser cut parts for the shed building and workshop from York Modelmaking at Watford last weekend.... it looks good... watch this space.
