A little more work done this week.

The space where the cassettes went has now been filled in with plywood, Templot drawings for the new trackwork tried in place

The first snag appeared when the pointwork overlapped on to the lifting section but this turnout can be shortened to fit.

Another banking trial done, this time with loaded coal wagons and up to four locos, no problems with this at all. I've made another temporary use of these baseboards with a few yards of EM track to test rakes of coaches for Carlisle. I'll have to take all this up now and drop the boards back to level for Herculaneum tracklaying.

Some cassettes still in place at this end but not for long, I need to keep a few for Cwmafon though.

Finally two photos of Herculaneum in its final position up against the side of the shed. The windows will have to be modified though, the wire security frame gets in the way of the LOR and I'll need a couple of opening windows to reach in from outside for maintenance and assembling the Overhead. The two large boards from Cwmafon are still in the way but I can't think of anywhere else to store them at the moment.

Mike you can always suspend the Cwmafon boards up in the apex of the shed roof using a system of ropes and pulleys.or some suspending brackets.
