Chipping & Much Binding
Well I'm going into hospital tomorrow for a hip replacement so thought I would bring you up to date on what I've been doing over the past couple of months while I still can.
The 'Model of the Model' is, at last, complete or as least as far as is reasonably viable bearing in mind it is built to 1/5th of N Scale or approximately 1:730. Not even T Scale will run on anything this small. Anyway here are a few sample pictures. There are more in 'My Album' for those that are interested.

I have also embarked on a complete re-build of my points control panels. These were originally going to be simple stud & probe affairs but, following comments received, I decided to make them all singing, all dancing with switches and bi-colour LEDs to show the setting of each point/route. I have completed the smaller of the two panels which will control the Much Binding side of the layout and thought you might like to see some photos of the finished article.

I set up a small test rig with a point motor and one of Richard's wonderful Masterswitches to test everything as I went along.

While all this has been going on my apartment in Guilin, China has been competed and I now have a railway room just waiting for construction work to start.

Well I think that's about all for this update. I hope to be back on line in a week or two and look forward to catching up on everyone's progress then.
Cheers for now.

Thanks for your comments guys and thank you Richard for inventing Masterswitches. I don't know how, or even if, I would have achieved this without them.
Positive feedback from such experienced modellers as yourselves is high praise indeed and very much appreciated.

Makes the whole thing worthwhile and is encouragement to strive to maintain the standard I have set myself.

Hi Trevor,
Very neat and tidy wiring of the panel

i see what you mean wire having your work cut out with it but i'm sure once the layout is up and running it will prove to be all worthwhile.
