More Fiddle Yard - February 2008
Here's a close-up of one of the board joints on the fiddle yard. PCB strip glued and screwed down, copper strip cut between the rails and then the track laid across the joint and soldered down both sides. Plenty of copper to solder the dropper wires to as well.
The third section of fiddle yard is set up and the track laid across that joint.
The layout (as planned) is filling the room so difficult to work on the whole thing at the same time. Here's a photo of the layout so far with only the second end board missing.
The main front board and the backboards have a two inch gap between them for something something backscene. Having two foot wide front baords makes handling the layout so much easier but it does mean there are three narrow fiddle yard boards to put up separately when assembling the layout. In the end the fiddle yard boards box up together with their associated front boards to make three relatively handleable boxes. Not sure if I might go for three foot deep boards including the fiddle yard next time but that would then make transport that much more difficult.
