Hi all,
Just had a quiet day and did some more on Route's End:
Now completed station with missing passengers reinstated and as it looks a bit like Sheffield Supertram's Halfway tramstop, I'm tempted to stick a couple of taxis in front.
No overheads installed yet, but a test run with my MUNI Boeing LRV over the remodelled pointwork showing adequate clearance to the trolley. More about the low hedge in the next caption.
Testing Route's End in its 'one person mode' where the tracks become a stabling point and the cars just shuttle between them and platform - not prototypical operation, but nevertheless convincing. The repainted 'Thomas the Tank Engine' footbridge has its second signal in place (Yes, they are both in line - its the shadows in my garage make them look out of line).
A new lower hedge along the front acts as a 'barrier' which might deter poking and prodding.
Everything has been glued, screwed, nailed, epoxy-resined down so apart from putting electrified barbed tape along the front, this layout should be relatively 'kid-proof'! That family whose actions damaged this layout, have not beaten me!!!!
The final chapter is some time away, that'll be the overhead installation.
Dave.
