Progress
by end November 2002
In November the fiddle yard trackwork was adjusted to allow all possible rolling
stock (ie. a UP Big Boy!) to pass. 'Droppers" were soldered to the track to provide
power so that trains could be run round on Open Day (24th Nov). The detailed trackwork at
the front is being planned for us by Richard Oldfield using Templot software - Last minute
modifications were made following the provision of addtional track diagrams by Tom Biery.
The locations of the streets were marked out, building mock-ups in cardboard were
started and the first mountains were assembled. Trains ran well on the Open Day - note
that this is only existing rolling stock and not what we hope to run eventually.
