Hi,

 

the little Manning Wardle is just about finished now.

and while i had the Kerr Stuart out doing some remedial work to its pick ups, the silencer broke off. Instead of just sticking it back on I instead rebuilt it to strengthen it and make it look more like what it should be.

the new point switches are now set into white boxes to visually seperate them from the layout. the switches work really well, not just mechanically but electrically as well. i tried all four of my locos and work much better than before so i can account for most of their previous stalling and stuttering to the poor blade contact

Alsocan be seen in the background of the loco pics is that im super glueing brick work embossed sheet into the temporary wooden retaining wall extensions, the newest section still needs the excess glue cut off.

 

Regards, sam.
