As we go into another all-day session tomorrow, here's the progess so far...
Village terminus waiting for platforms to be installed.
The track bed of the upper loop is visible here.
At the end of the last all-day session, this was a collection of pieces of polystyrene glued into place.
The Peco tunnel mouth, looking very fetching in Sahara Beige, with added foliage.
More scenery added.
The scenery here between the tracks has been cut back to allow for a signal box.
Looks like two signal boxes cut and stuck together - and that's exactly what this is!
More scenery added on the approach to the Peco tunnel mouth, the small space between the scenery & TPO allows for an additional signal to be fitted.
The finished wiring under board one.
Testing the shuttle circuit using board one only - the signal works and the Bachmann EPB looks quite at home!
Viewed from the tunnel mouth.
I needed more platform extensions, these are very expensive!
Thankfully I found and won these from Ebay having been repainted at some point previously...
...Just a quick rub down and repaint was all that was required.
Signal box removed for painting.
Signal box primed and painted, just needs the doors & windows painted.
Board four - first of the rear boards to be wired and finished, with just a few sidings...
With summer upon us, we're hoping to avoid more full days after tomorrow. The hope is that by the end of tomorrow's session, most of the work will be completed - if only minor scenery work is required then this can be done without joining all the boards together.
By my calculations, we're four months into this little project... not bad progress I think.
