Morning Nat! Great to see the layout growing with the branchline now connected! Must be very satisfying to get the trains running on the new track, even if it's only temporary for now! Loved the solution for implementing the hard standing with the multiple layers of greyboard! Very well thought out! All the best, Ian.
terrific layout and well planned out. I can’t imagine trying to change brushes etc on an N gauge loco etc, but you can certainly squeeze so much more in. Thanks for sharing Regards Charlie
Hi, to join track lengths on a curve it works best if the joins on each rail are about 40 mm a part. So cutting one rail on each piece and the sliding them together keeps the track in the correct shape. I made the same error years ago and had it pointed out to me. I glued my track to the board with Copydex using track formers and weight to hold it in place for 30 minutes. Hope this helps.
great progress, and love those green coaches, nice collection

Real progress there Nat. It's always a great feeling when you get a train to run to or from a new part of the layout. Stephen

Well done Nat - excellent progress - very hard to maintain that curved join on the track - we have all been there.
