The new layout, track, 21t wagon.

More progress on the new layout, which yet to have a name.

After testing the track, I have probably done this to soon, the track has been blown over with rail grime.

Not that I like this, it's all a bit uniform but at least it gives you a base, a sort of 'primer' layer to work with and is a good way to start, especially with hand built track, covers up all the copper clad sleepers.

The postie bought me these today.

You can get them from Amazon. They also do packs of 15.

They will be used to take off feeds on the positive or negative polarity for the frogs and anything else that may need a feed. It saves on any soldering something I do not believe in under a layout, ask any BT engineer.

I have also finished the 21ton mineral wagon kit, PC03 from Parkside Models, now part of the Peco group. Just transfers to fit when they arrive, not sure if the diagonal white line comes in the transfer pack.

That's it folks.
