Will do. John's images are particular favourites of mine. He took some great photos. His son, Andrew, was another of our regulars but he sadly passed away last year.

Closer examination seems to indicate it may be some kind of a structure, made from the remains of old wagons.
Or alternatively, so kind of A.I.-inspired photoshop monstrosity...

Well, I had hoped to be getting on with things on the Peco board but I've acquired a dose of the dreaded lurghi overnight so snot and lethargy are the order of the day.
I did however glue the board together yesterday evening and that seems to have gone well. Next step will be to apply some filler then add the MDF top board before laying the track.
The MDF will raise the trackbed and provide a drop to the front which will form a small water feature.
I also need to give some thought to adding a short fiddle stick but that can wait thoughI do have a plan.

Morning Simon,
Well, you were right, it doesn't seem to hang around. In contrast to this time yesterday, no snot, no malaise. Not quite 100% but considerably better.
An early start today saw Project Peco installed in the Room of Doom and it's now perched on the Desk of Doing.
There's a bit of running around to do this morning but hopefully there'll be some time to make a bit of progress later.
I'd like to get the plain track cut to size, even if I don't manage to add the MDF top to the board.
Progress is still progress.

Hi Rob
Did the board come with a large cardboard box fir the finished model?

It did indeed. Whacking great thing but I have some doubt whether the finished layout would survive being bounced about in it, irrespective of the amount of padding.

Regarding the layout itself, I managed to appropriate some time and was able to cut the plain track. Not only that but yep, a bit of testing has taken place.
All appears satisfactory indeed.
Next job will be to add a bit of filler, here and there before adding the MDF top.
Then the track can be laid and wired.

Morning Phil.
No, I didn't get there. I had my free ticket, courtesy of RmWeb for the Friday, but I decided not to go in the end.

Ahead of Minehead, a week today, Sheep Dip is at Stowrail.
Over the last week, I've added a NCE panel to the fiddle yard, making Sheep Dip now operable on DCC.
I've also been refurbishing the scenery adding shrubbery from AK Interactive and MBR.
It's coming on. Here's a rather overgrown corner of the plot.
