Aldgate Box Boy Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 Hi everyone, well this is the beginning of Green Leaf#2. I finally got around to putting the last pair of legs onto the 4th baseboard. These are images of the four boards connected up for the first time in my messy study - or should I call it train room! I've wired up all the boards with two bus bars - one for track the other for points. More soon. Cheers Tim 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aldgate Box Boy Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 Hi here are are some pictures of the track laying and the back boards roughly fitted in place Cheers Tim 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldgate Box Boy Posted April 20, 2021 Author Share Posted April 20, 2021 Hi everyone, bit more progress on the layout rebuild. Backscene primed and I've posed some of my old building on the layout to get a sense of what goes where. Cheers Tim 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldgate Box Boy Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 Hi All, I'm currently playing around with sight lines/ scene blockers for the rebuild. I thought people might be interested in the ideas. cheers Tim 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldgate Box Boy Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 Hi All, laid the first stretch of Dual gauge in the layout. Quite straightforward - curves will be more problematic. Cheers Tim 2 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldgate Box Boy Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 Hi All, more progress on the track laying. The dual gauge section is enjoyable and slow. The Butanone adhesive didn't seem that effective so I went for superglue, which seems to work well. the first picture shows the two dual gauge lines. One on the left is the power station road. The R/H is the through road. Second picture shows the Power station in place. Just at the end of the through road is where the gauges will split with a narrow gauge section and a simple standard gauge siding for the engineering shops. The final picture looks back up the line.
