Today was supposed to see the completion of the lower fiddle yard. Although the yard has long been operational, up to now 3 out of the 4 slow loops have been incomplete. Additionally, one fast and one slow line needed to be divided into multiple sections to enable automatic operation of more multiple units.
Work on the exit half of the yard proceeded according to plan, but the entrance roads shown in the photograph have caused problems. Because the roof of the house is not quite symmetrical the four roads will not quite fit through the gap between the roof timbers whilst maintaining the desired 30 inch minimum radius. An extension to the baseboard will have to be fitted in the corner above the Stanley Knife - as it stands there is less operational track in this area than when I started this morning.
