Finished?

I'm getting there. After much waiting for new bricks to arrive in the post, the station is complete, and the last section is pretty much there. As always, there are little tweaks I could make, particularly if I decide to buy the pieces.

However, I now have 4 sections to click together, and am in that waiting phase. I've booked a venue for Tuesday week to bring all 4 together for the first time to test the whole thing out. I think it will work, but there could well be a couple of short circuits to deal with where the various loops connect. Only one
way to find out....

As well as the short circuits, actually running trains is the only way to find out if you really have got the clearances right inside the tunnels and whether crashes and derailments will be occasional or frequent....

Once it's all tested I'll post some pics of it all together and the whole layout is booked for it's first public appearance on Saturday September 21st as part of the "Down The Decades" event at the Toton Churches. I'll keep you posted....
