2020_10_23 Al starts on laying out the helix track
And almost a full level in place. free rolling rolling stock moves slowly down the 1.5% grade at a constant speed. A testimony to the fine work of Ron and Steve (from Hobsons Bay MRC) who built this helix.
It took about 12 hours to get this far, however we modified our methods slightly and expect things to pick up a bit now.
And of course whilst Al slaved away on the helix, I continued with the rewire and connecting up the servo point motors and Tan Valley DCC switches. (singlets)
Signalling
During the week McKenzie and HOLland also attended to test fit the Down home gantry signal (post 10 and 10b) and start preparations for the new Honeysuckle down end lever frame.
Damn next job is to cut away all that unused wiring and attach the led dimmers!
The points for the runaround road should not be off the main line at this point Instead they will be moved to connect with the yard access near the pass cars
In the meantime, I have continued to upgrade wiring, repair rolling stock and fit sound etc slowly catching up with a lot of unfinished business.
Cheers
Rod
