Crikey, just over six months since my last update!
A picture paints etc etc, so here is where I've reached:
In the end, I decided to go with PECO OO gauge bullhead track as I stand a chance of actually running trains at some point! As you can see, most of the track is down and wired - each piece of track has its own power feed. I've still got a couple of connections to make at the left-hand end, and obviously the siding needs to be put in place.
The cattle dock mk.1 is plonked in its spot; I'm really not happy with it so it'll get a do-over. The same applies to the platform, which has done its best to emulate a banana..... The Seven Stars hasn't progressed much beyond window sills. However, the basic earth cover is almost there, with just the level crossing bit to fill in.
Once the track is all down and wired, I can think about ballasting. What fun!
Thanks for looking in and all the best,
Mark
