Ok so it's been a month. Health and life issues affecting my ability to do many things beyond just get through... And even that has been hampered at times.
Modelling therefore has been sporadic and when I have been able to do some a struggle. However I'm on the mend now small steps but I hope by posting again it will at least help the road to recovery
It is also less that 3 months to Expo EM.... Terrifying! I know it's possible but I will need all the WT cheerleading that can be musterd to get it over the line.
The wiring tweaks have been completed so the boards can be finally put back the right way up
One of the he things that was a problem is the crank of the home signal had snapped so wasn't operable.
Easy to fix if it wasn't buried in the baseboard.
Some deep breaths later and some NS brake riding and the signal wire is attached.
Which means finally the layout has been righted.
This has allowed the installation of the level crossing mechanism
The underside view, the foam is meant to deaden the gearbox noise which is loud but as yet to no avail. At least it works though.
And finally turned round and properly set up. Lots to do and not as much time as I would like to do things in. Isn't this always the case?
