RMweb Premium GWRPhil Posted May 12, 2015 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) Have done some more wiring work today. Redid the wiring under the village of porthcressa for the track in that section. Have done all the droppers just gotta wait for the solder tag strip to arrive courtesy of eBay so I can join all the droppers and connect them up to the main trunk feed. The droppers have been done in the same way as previously described earlier in the feed and the underneath will follow the same as the posts above on this page. I have also painted the roof of my burrator lane shed today so please take a look on its feed. P.s. Previous page for the soldering work under sonera.

RMweb Premium GWRPhil Posted May 14, 2015 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 14, 2015 Shed looks spot on my mate... Will be even better when all the new walls are applied. Although I photographed if on sonera it doesn't actually fit on there as sonera was designed to fit another shed. Looks like I've got another layout in my future.

RMweb Premium GWRPhil Posted May 16, 2015 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 16, 2015 Solder tag arrived and installed under porthcressa village and dropper attached and it was then linked up to main feed. Tonight gotta do the same under porthcressa on sea station to finish the power system underneath where I relaid part of the yard and the two track for the platforms nearest the yard. Hoping to have it all ready for test run tomorrow morning and then running session with some friends tomorrow. Hoping to post some pics and videos in the next few days. Then it's time to move onto the lighting on the layout something I've not tackled yet but which I'm keen to get towards starting. Given the platforms some real lights to give that more alive feel especially during an evening running session. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium GWRPhil Posted May 17, 2015 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) Finished getting the layout ready for its visit today. It was a great day with some really great friends. And I was able to show them the brewery named after them. They also brought along the shed to go on sonera. My great friend mick has done an absolutely stunning job of making me a shed along a similar design to the Laira sheds. Here's a few pics.
