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....
