But, over the weekend massive progress have been made! The legs have been screwed into the baseboard and a frame the same dimensions as the baseboard has been screwed into the bottom of the legs. 50mm castors have then been screwed into the bottom of each leg to make it portable. The baseboard for the station module was re laid. The way I did it last time wasn't the best way in the world. So hers a picture of the progress so far....
Unfortunately I am starting to regret converting the B.L board (and had plans to convert the rest of the layout) to DCC. It dawned on me, that its going to be a fair bit more expensive to go DCC... So watch this space...
Also some Peco 009 points and Gaugemaster PM-1 point motors have been ordered. a neat little feature on the PM-1 is a built in accessory switch, which will be used for powering the LEDs in the control panel to indicate which way the point is set. There is still quite a bit to do to get the layout running, including building a 6 or 7 road fiddle yard. Hopefully some N gauge points will be bought at the Warely Exhibition at the NEC in three weeks.
