Finally got the layout up in the garage today, and work started getting it ready for Statfold exhibition next month.
The first job is to get the back scene around the pub and cottages started. These cover the sector plate and until now we’re just covered by the buildings. A bit of bodging got the ply up and a method of securing them. We had to be careful as the street lamp wires run underneath the road, so we had to be precise with the location of screws!!
As the layout has evolved over a vast period of time, not everything has been planned out. However, once the sky wallpaper has been applied, it should look a lot better.
Next job whilst the wallpaper is being applied is to test everything and make sure all the signals, lights and track works!
