Andrew P Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 l need to get some as well mate, also need some more wagons, any progress today on WS... Hi Mate, no none on WS today as we had Mother for Lunch today, (and very tasty it was too, hahahha). but I've just been out there for an hour this evening whilst the good Lady watched the soaps. So this evening 6 more Point Motors have had the 6 wires soldered on each one ready for fitting, I still need one more Motor which I'll collect on Wednesday.

Highlandman Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 It's nice to see you can still invite Mother over for dinner, Andy. My mother inlaw was always welcome in our house. As long as she left her broom stick outside......... Can't wait to see the first loco movement on Whittaker Street. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, it was because of my mother-in-law that I developed such an interest in military aircraft. It all started the day the police turned up and informed us that the RAF had shot her down over Pendle Hill! Looking forward to the first video Andrew. I've got YouTube on standby...

ben pez Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Coming along nicely this layout andy And your weathering on them diesels is superb! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 O.K. so tomorrow its the last 2 Points to wire and fit, then I can put the two boards together and do a full test. Things will then slow down production wise, but will increase picture wise as I run various bits of stock over all the Layout and ensuring all the uncoupling magnets are in the right places, and the sidings work as planned. Once fully satisfied, (and that could take a couple of Months) I will paint the track ready to start the ballasting process. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythocentric Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 OK! Cancel your appointments and stock up on food essentials for the next few weeks guys, Andy's going to start playing...aah! carrying out a period of exhaustive testing for purpose! Actually, I believe I can already detect a certain amount of well-deserved satisfaction emanating from the direction of The Potting Shed and rightly so. I only hope George can persuade you to let go of the controller on Saturday. R & R is important you know! Looking forward to seeing the layout in it's entirety!
