I had not realized how much time had passed since I updated you on progress. Life REALLY threw me a curve ball, and in summary, it meant finding a new job. Three roles later (two were short-term gigs) I'm back. It's been hard work, but I love it, and know what I need to do.
Live my life too.
So, back to the hobby!
Trackwork On The Terminal Railway
I broke down and finally replaced a troublesome turnout and bit of track; the turnout had been repaired but was still troublesome, and the section of straight track dipped in the center. Need to power it and fit the turnout motor once the glue dries.
Ballast In Place
As the track needs to sit higher than the roadbed, I used ballast under it to hold it up (much like the real thing). The glue is drying, which can take quite some time...
And lastly (for now), what is a layout or track without power on a model railroad?
Added the feeder wires for this block, as well as the new turnout. Decided it was also time to fix another oversight and add the feeder for the existing frog in the crossover/route to the junction.Will tidy up the scenery tonight (so it an dry overnight) but today I plan to run some trains while I clear up the projects in the train room!
Sometimes small jobs can make a big difference to how it all works...
