I’ve now made some storage shelves for all the odd bits:

And this is what the underside of part of the baseboards looks like:

Finally, the baseboards are starting to be covered

The whole area will still need a lot more work, but at least the wood is covered.

All the main tracks are now laid & wired, and finally, a train has run from one end of the layout to the other.

The platforms for the halt are done, but not properly installed.

I decided to splash out on some buffers with lights. They are rather neat as they pick up the power directly from the track. I did have to reduce the intensity of the lights to make them a bit more realistic though.

I’ve finally improved the lighting in the loft…

The initial platforms for the main station have been made. The platform edges haven’t been finished yet, and they need fixing down properly. I’ve changed the track arrangement in this station so that all four tracks will finish at the main station building platform edge.

These were actually added a few weeks ago…

The mimic panel is now complete and working:

The slope has also been finished and now has a retaining wall thanks to a colour laser printer and http://paperbrick.co.uk
