Just a brief little update on the layout, not to much to report on this week. The tedious task of wiring has been started, the droppers have been placed into the block and loops connecting them together have been installed. Luckily wiring on a smaller layout isn’t as bad! A small but important job of adding a strengthening piece has also been undertaken. With the boards originally being four modular baseboards I was worried about the rigidity of the boards that are permanently together, so I added a small piece of wood just to help keep everything together. And lastly I couldn’t help but place some new arrivals on the layout! 37713 & 37351 sit on the yard!

I was posting updates over on Twitter but I have decided to move to something a little more substantial to track and show progress on the layout! With that here is some rather crude progress photos of the layout. These include the painting or corking on the baseboards as well and track laying and glueing with the final picture the track laid with it cut and back in the boxes!
