Going round the bend
Progress over the pass few weeks has been slow due to several factors, mainly holidays combined with a little to much modelling relaxation.
However the other half went away for the last couple of days so I got to play.
1st job. Fit the legs.
2nd job put the whole thing together for the first time. Bodge a little to ensure that it fits, phew sorted.
3rd job repair a couple of weak joints on the board, darn.
4th lay some track ... and ... well all appears good so far. I have laid about 5.5m of track complete with dropper wires so that just needs wiring up to the main wiring loop and away we go, hopefully
So picture time, just to prove that this is not just all talk!
The loco and short freight is just their for the camera, to give an idea of size. So far the track work appears to be a whole lot better than my previous attempts in this area.
Next jobs will be to complete the main line on the fiddle yard boards, this will obviously include points, gulp, but I have started building the first of these, so we will see how that goes.
What I did establish this morning was the line side fencing requirements for the new boards. It's in the region of 10m, which given my method of creating these fences this means cutting some 1250 fence posts before drilling 7500 holes in these posts before threading the wire through these 7500 holes. This might take a little while!
