So Easter has come and gone,and what have I got to show for it ? As you can see, Graceton now has a platform. The building is a 1/4 built Bullmancania kit. The plaform is US loading gauge tolerant so most stuff can easily get pass it, other than some On30I suspect. Being on a curve was a factor too. The paltform was made after cutting a paper template, which was then cut and pined to the wooden base, cut out. I then screwed it to the layout. Next step was gluing on the platform edging. Then I spreadf a thin layer of grey caulk on the platform surface, to me it looks OK. |

Roger's last working bee was fixing several track areas, one was at Eyeseeh where I didn't pay attention to one track. Roger fixed it. |

Roger's also finished some track realigment at Broughton. I had decided to redo the aisleway side tracks att he station. So Roger finished it. Mind you we found a short that was a microfiliment on a PCB circuitboard sleeper -that we didn;t find for several minutes. After the track was put back into operation, I glued the remains of the platformback in with a slight trim. So the platform is whole once again, and train run OK now at that end. |

Eyeseeh has a road crossing at the down end. Took a while to dry. |

Other work done was putting in a switch at Eyeseeh to work one half of the doubleslip.
I have also done some work at Broughton to tidy up the points wores there, running them to a terminal strip
for now.
Also some small baseboard spline gap filling done at the up end of Eyeseeh as well. Eyeseeh has a road crossing at the down end. Took a while to dry. |
