New layout for 2007

Jan 2007 and still under construction this is the new portable layout for 2007

The track is fixed and a lot of wires to deal with now

Now measuring 10ft 6 x 3ft 3 and on just 2 boards its a lot simpler layout for ease of operation , setting up and portability

Wiring up for track power only . After my last layout I learned you cant rely on the old rails (50 odd years old) and using weedy boost wires conducting the power around the track . so I have used chunky boost wires and plenty of them. 

Wiring for the lighting will come later. 

nearly February now and we are getting there - it takes a lot to get the trains running smoothly on these old rails. also getting the buildings sorted . footbridge is going to be replaced with an engine shed that's on my list of wants.    

Please come back for updates on progress and hopefully see ttrca members with my new layout during 2007
