It's been a while... sadly real life has an annoying tendency to creep up and get in the way of things.
However I've got a week off work coming up so track, underlay and some other bits and pieces are currently on there way to me.
The rolling stock has grown too:
So what's planned for the week ahead?
Laying the flexible track and fixing the points with cork underlay
Building the two extra baseboards for the other fiddle yard
Working out how to attach and unattach those from the main baseboard
Fitting some kind of point control... not decided yet but due to the simplicity of the layout I suspect wires in tubes may be most practical.
I'm going DC power to begin with using the HM DC unit I got a while ago, since Hornby aren't planning on releasing the 6 pin bluetooth decoder for the Class 08 until next summer (!!!!!).
I will however be fitting droppers at each set of points in anticipation of moving to DCC in the future.
