Spent the weekend operating Nigel Burkin's "work-in-progress" demonstration layout at the Chesterfield show, explaining DCC to people and pointing out the tortoise point motors under the baseboard. The relevance of this to my own layout (other than a distinct lack of progress over the last 2 days) is that after admiring Nigel's new signal gantry I returned home with a large selection of Plastruct - signalling is next on the agenda!
My expenditure on books at the show doesn't bear thinking about, as always........
