...but not a lot! I've been catching up on jobs that I've been meaning to do for quite some time, and they are as follows...

1) drill a hole for the point motor at the end of the station run-round loop

2) continue fitting of insulated rail joiners - this has disrupted a bit of trackwork, so some re-ballasting is required!

3) permenantly fit the baseboard to the frame- this may sound silly, but when it was origionally built it was as a shelf and so had to be separate from the framework.

4) begin redesign of fiddle yard - I'm going for a traverser as some of my stock objects to crossovers formed with minimum radius pionts!

So now, to get me back to an operating position I have the following to do...

1) fit and wire in point motor

2) tidy up ballast

3) build new fiddle yard section

Some of which may take a bit of time, but I dare say that noce I get started, it'll hopefully spin along quite quickly (famous last words!)

I have also begun planning the next section, to fit between the station and fiddle yard, which will utilise the Gould's Warehouse building from this month's Model Rail magazine standing next to a disused siding, possibly with an old waggon or two outside.

I don't have any photos of my progress, as it's not particularly exciting, but bleow is a shot of the layout so I can explain things a bit better!

The point motor has been added to the point in front of the loco, and the scenic area to the right will now be blended in/redone as it doesn't need to be removable any more.

Hopefully there'll be more progress soon!
