A quiet day.
1. Finalising track layout details and parts purchasing lists for the #NGauge #ModelRailway I'm building.
2. Inspecting the work in progress on the footbridge and goat enclosure.
3. Some time spent comforting Max (our smallest dog) due to much thunder rumbling over the hills to the east. He's terrified of storms and is only pacified by curling up on my shoulder and putting his head on my face. However, because he weighs 10kg and is not an olympic gymnast, this means I have to stop whatever I'm doing and lie down on the bed with him until the storm's gone. Tough job but someone has to do it.
Some more model railway progress. Trial fitted the branch line boards with buildings so that I could put all the track and power wiring in and then check the track, points, etc.
Wiring completed except for lighting and signals. Track tested, some issues fixed, a couple still to do. Some point motors to be adjusted.
Before the boards go back in for good I need to… put up the backscenes, wire in the signals and lights, and do some scenery work in the far corner because it’ll be difficult to reach once the boards are in.
