    Well my first shiney attack of 2016 arrived from China - not as sexy as Toto's.

    0.1" right angle connectors

    [​IMG]

    and 0.1" terminal blocks

    [​IMG]
    These will allow me to have proper connectors on my arduino based accy decoders.

    Our lord and master, has given me another job, so back to the cutting mat and hope to report more later.

    Needs details adding now, but will be used as part of the front end of the parcels depot.

    G`day Paul,
    That`s scrubbed up really nice. I have one of those downloaded as a future build and I didn`t realize how good it could look.
    Well done!!!.:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

    Cheers guy's I'm thinking of using it as a loading bay area for what will become the Parcels depot, using a combination of the factory / warehouse kit and the large station kit.

    Then start that overall roof :eek:

    I still wonder at the fact that someone who hates building buildings (me) decided to make a layout based in a city center, that must have been some seriously strong coffee being drunkl that evening. :avatar:

    Ah well, fresh set of blades all round and get ready to start again.

    As Toto p[ointed out, I need to start on the bigger buildings, so this is the target area

    [​IMG]
    The front retaining wall needs trimming to size, the front siding needs extending into what will becom a parcels building.
    A retaining wall needs to be built by platform 1, to provide the support for an overall roof, which will blend into a larger roof at the end of the layout to suggest a much larger terminus station.

    [​IMG]
    Front retaining wall now trimmed and support wall for the overall roof started, waiting for the varnish to dry before adding butresses and header courses as pr the other retaining walls and platforms.

    Small update

    [​IMG]
    Butresses and sess added to the platform side

    [​IMG]
    Glue is still drying. Model Railway Scenery Drains, plus a mix of coffee grounds, granite chippings and woodland scenics fine grey ballast sprinkled onto 50/50 pva water mix.

    Not fixed in place yet but this is what it should look like.
