The district inspector

Sunday lunchtime - 12/01/03

Track in place and testing underway using a somewhat strange mixture of rolling stock. If I haven't annoyed at least one purist by lunchtime I find I can't digest my food properly.

The underboard wiring at this point consists of temporary jumper cables. Once the track has proved derailment free then final wiring will take place using the various DCC block detection bits scattered about on the left.

The expanded polystyrene blocks I use as place-keepers for scenery and structures tend to fool the exposure meter in Fiona's little compact camera. Why not daub them with leftover household emulsion to tone them down, I thought? The photo shows why not - not one of my better ideas.
