A very quick update - protoype layout ready!!

Some track is now concealed behind the rams on the inner track.

For those of you who helped by reviewing my track plans, notice I have included extra points to allow both entry and exit from the outer loop.

Started laying the track...

Just started laying out the track. Looks like all the damp weather has warped my base-board. I'll need to get some new plywood and a few cork sheets. Back to Train Trader next weekend and a quick stop at Bunnings.

I bought the Track.

At last, Summer Holidays are over and Train Trader at Pymble opened their doors.

It's the only place in Sydney that carries a respectable supply of Peco N scale Code 80 track. I got all the bits needed to make the track plans I've previously posted. A mere $400 in a small plastic carrier bag.

Well, on with the show!
