Since last posting, I've temporarily taken the top off the baseboard in order to help with wiring both the track and the point motors. Wired rail joiners have replaced almost every non insulating joiner I originally used, and each section was tested with a Gaugemaster DC controller stolen off my old 'roundy roundy' layout. Just yesterday I stocked up with more card kits, in order to build the retaining walls, bridge and platform. Along with that I got a couple of switches for the point motors along with some mounting plates to assist with well, mounting! Again prices added up quickly, with all of that costing $128! Here's the full list of stuff I bought yesterday:
- 1 x PO 235 Stone Platform Kit
- 1 x PO 243 Single Track Tunnel Entrance Set (One is being 'Kit Bashed' to become the bridge at the end of the layout)
- 1 x PO 245 Stone Style Retaining Walls (I still need to get another one, though!)
- 1 x M 0057 Cut Stonework M1 Style
- 2 x PL-26 Passing Contact Switch (One Red, one Black)
- 1 x PL 28 Mounting Plates
Above: One of the retaining wall pieces, unfortunately I ran out of glue!
Below: A Class 108 DMU passes under the nearly completed bridge. I can already see how this will look when the scenery is completed.
