Duvet day

Now the festivities are over its time to start on the other station. MDF sandwich started this morning and lights fitted into the building, it’s a waiting game now until the PVA cures.

At the other end of the layout someone thought the 2CV was cold and laid a duvet on the bonnet!

Phase two

Today I laid the track on the second phase of the layout and fitted the copper clad sleepers where the joins will be soldered and cut the track, next the point motors were fitted and tested tomorrow the last point motor to be fitted and tested

Not to happy with the Chinese marine ply

Its cold outside but I had to cut the side rails for my 8 foot by 18 inch extension to the layout. Not to happy with the Chinese 12mm marine ply hopefully it will pull in when the 18 x 44 mm cross bracing is added he top is made from 48x12" and 48x6" sheeted of ply. when I get the position for the points marked in the board I can mount the bracing there is nothing worse than finding a point motor has to go where the bracing sits!

Ungrateful boy

A small interlude I though I should have a bit of a joke with my boy so I made a skip so he can clear out his building rubble. The ungrateful boy reckons it’s too small.
