It is Percy’s turn to be ‘exercised’ this week. 40 minutes in one direction and another 40 in the other direction.

In the meantime Allan has been contemplating the second test board – currently blank. Current thinking is to have an end-to-end layout plan with sidings at each end.

The current arrangement of using double sided sellotape to hold the track in place is working reasonably well but is causing some erratic engine movements in some places. The second board may use a 3D raised track bed to see if that improves the engine running.
