Hello All

 

I have been wiring the track for DCC, this I though was a simple task, but when I checked my work with a multimeter the rails were shorted. After disconnecting various wire I discovered that one of the pre-cut sleepers was not cut properly. This corrected and the wires reconnected the short has been corrected.

Three of the sections of track are held in position using two screws. This is to allow them to be removed to allow a cross over to be installed later.

Next I ran a locomotive, which I recorder using my camera phone.

I could not get the locomotive to go round the 78mm radius curve, but this is caused because of a problem with the baseboard join, and the track currently has a hump in the track.

78mm is not a curve its a corner! The loco doesn't seem to mind though. It will be an interesting job to put a crossover in where shown. I shall be interested to see how you get on.

That little loco (J94?) seems to be quite happy with those tight curves! It's very satisfying when something actually moves after the efforts of construction :D

 

Keep on the great work, and I'll watch this with interest.

Very nice indeed! I'm looking at doing an ultra small space 2mm finescale project, so will be watching this one with interest :)

Hi All

 

I am trying to prove that it is possible to build a fully functioning exhibition layout within the micro layout format.
