Progress also continued well in February and
March. Chris put finishing touches to the turnouts and trackwork on the front of
the layout and Paul removed, wired and replaced two baseboards as he starts the
laborious task of wiring the layout. Although we will use DCC eventually, he
is wiring for standard operation at the start with four blocks. Chris has also
built and placed a model weighscale (see photo
#707).
The wiring (I didn't get the exciting photos of Paul actually doing
it) is, as usual, quite inspiring! :
Chris starting on the finishing touches at the baseboard joints, and
an open view of the layout without the backboard - removed so that baseboards
can be taken out and wired:

construction by Steve:
