Another heavy bout of track laying and another lesson learned: Don't restrict the amount of tools you're using!

I had tried to use only hand tools (and soldering iron), but today I decided to get out the Rotacraft Grinding disc, it's quicker and more effective than doing it by hand. So the track ends of the piece leading up to the Y point but on exactly!

So the result is that I now only need to put in two pieces of track, with two evenings to go! Here is the progress upto now:

I had been glueing track to the board using superglue and using track pins to guide the curves, now I've found it's better just to drill holes in the sleepers and put the pins through there... Much quicker, simpler and more accurate (i.e. it doesn't require three hands).

Anyway, just two pieces of track left in the top left, all other parts have been tested and are working well.... The long black line inside all the other track, will become an incline to test hill climbs, That will be put down over Easter I hope, it was outside of scope for this week, and the actual solution depends on the scenic design and if my loco's can run over Fleischmann rack N gauge track....

Good night!

P.S. Major damage was to my right thumb: I managed to touch the soldering iron... You would have thought I had learned that by now!
