Home-made road

To follow

Wiring started and road

Its been a quite week with Christmas coming half way through, so not much has been done this week.

One of my Xmas present was a new soldering iron (from Maplins) so I have a start on wiring up for the DCC bus.

I managed to wire all the built track. On Monday 30th I will test all the wiring.

I tried to construct the station approach using ready roll Tarmac sheet. It looked good until I tried to paint to road marking 

They looked crap. Rip it up and start with another idea.... Make my own cardboard road....

Station - more work completed.

The end of the bay platform was completed together with the ramp.

Both ideas were constructed using the Metcalfe platform kits.

The extension plus ramp took about 1hr to complete, most was wanting for glue to set.

Main line started

The main line and 4points in place now.

2 of the point are working correct (first time no changing) but first 2 need attention :(

Layout idea

Rough idea of layout. This will change.

Station build complete

Today I have finished the Metcalfe Station Building ready for fitting on to platform when the main line and loop are fitted.( possibly next weekend)

Platform complete
