Not only has Dockland moved to a new location in the club, it has also gained a fourth baseboard. That may sound a lot but this is 7mm scale where another metre or so does not hold much in the way of rolling stock.Some initial electrical problems have been resolved.…
Trade isn't about goods. Trade is about information. Goods sit in the warehouse until information moves them.
Reconnecting the points to the mimic panel was the main job of the day.
Some dropper cables fixed and an in depth investigation into a point problem.
Following a break to build the extension, work is resuming on the Dockland Layout.
Malcolm C focussed on hiding the frog switching wiring on the double slip only to be interrupted to assist Ray in tracking down some problems on the CBUS control system.
Still working on trackwork - some led lights have been used to get the double slip wiring correct.
A class 08 makes its first appearance as testing of the trackwork continues.
Some serious woodwork to extend the baseboards and the sparkies deal with power surges.
