New Plank

Drawer sliders fitted and work well .. probably won't motorize it after all as it's much easier to work/control manually.

 

Behold my new Traverser  (manual version) that should/Will fit my brewery plank and my current 'wagon works' one.... er just noticed the other 5/8ths in shot ... to clarify then the traverser is I the foreground... glad that's sorted

 

Cheers Toto I can go scenic now...

 

Decided to paint my own backscene for this project hence... next cork board base then hole cut out to link scenic to traverser (l/h side) using Lcut double width bridge... then track down.

Thanks Toto yes Ron it's a pinboard (€5) cork on one side and
corrugated cardboard on the other. Quite firm and easy to cut when I sink my point co trolls in. Haven't found cork here yet.

Thanks Pete ref the step it's more of an optical illusion caused by the masking tape but the track will be on (painted) foam ballast which tends to even out minor imperfections . . says I ... anyway if that doesn't the tinto will

Backscene finished .. by the time I've added an embankment, trees, bushes and a fence it should look ok.

Hole cut out for double track/road bridge to fiddleyard and test fitted with template. This will be scalescrenes with a combination of brick and steel and brick wing walls.

 

Twin track/single lane road bridge built so track and points control next. Visitors arriving tomorrow so won't get much done for a few tinto..? .. days! Oh and blue needs toning down .. probably to moody grey ..
