RSS Fetcher Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 The last 10 days have been a bit of a nightmare, with virtually no modelling done last week, what with a funeral in Devon, some private work coming in (more of that later on the 'workshop blog') and, of course the start of the 'festivities of the season'. Nice but it ain't modelling! So what time could be given over has been tied up with the trackwork. It's now all built - as this shot shows - the PCB sleepering is still 'au naturel', but a few passes with a can of 'sleeper grime' resolved the colour issue (where needed - most of Tannery Lane will be cobbled) and the next task was to attach the dropper wires. The benefits of high-density foam - holes for the droppers were pushed through using a small screwdriver and now hang below the baseboard in my usual 'birds net'! Have no fear - I think even I can make it neater! Whilst the track layout is very simple, each of the main sidings has three isolating sections, and the track will be wired for 'common return'. The track is not yet glued down - for two reasons... 1) What did I do with the decent PVA and 2) I need to build the bridge between the abbatoir & Tannery Lane. Guess that will be the next mini-project! 'Til next time, Regards Ian Attached thumbnail(s) View the full article Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
