Another good session working on the layout, this week saw the final section across the baseboard join and the 2 long sidings that form the C&W carriage stabling / cripple repair / cleaning point.

 

It's now on the final push to complete the track-laying (I estimate another 4 weeks work).

Clearly my time estimates are slightly out, this week saw the last 2 points laid and track into the 3 upper sidings in the MPD and also the access line to the turntable. This just leaves the shed area roads to be laid next week, which will complete all the track-laying :sungum: .

Tonight saw a milestone, the last of the track was laid and then a coal truck and a coach were run through every piece of track and all points to check for running quality; there were only 2 points where the solder had built up and caused slight lifting, the best news being no gauge-widening or narrowing anywhere at all.

Next week will see the trackwork across the baseboard join cut through and the baseboards separated for the first time in several months.

Last night was a quick flying visit to club for me (seriously knacked from work), all that was done was to separate the 2 boards and pack them into the transport configuration as we need to put the current exhibition layout "Oakley" up for testing and checking before the Horsham show next month. There won't be any updates for the next few weeks.
