The plan for July
After last month's fantastic level of progress I need to curb my spending and focus on what the railway is actually in need of. I have purchased a Gaugemaster controller and have been testing out the trains, to varying levels of success.
I am off work for the summer and have every intention of getting some good progress with the scenery on the layout and begin to lay some actual track. Thus far I have enough straight track to build the run around loop at the station. I just need the points to arrive in the mail before I test the layout of it. I have added two extra sidings to the layout so that I can get some variety around the station.
Wiring is a complete mystery to me so I am going to ask my friend very nicely if he can help me wire the layout up.
The layout now has an official plan. Something that will probably change.
The plan does not show it but the track will run along an embankment as far as the river, which will have one bank higher than the other, owing to some freakish geological features.
The main aim for July is to get going on the scenery and the track. My focus has been too much on the rolling stock, to the neglect of the railway itself.
