This side of the layout had been in a right mess, until I did a bit of spring cleaning.
The top level of the layout, where the ‘Dales Peak Cement’ works will be, has been used as a dumping ground for tools and materials until now. After tidying up, the damage that condensation had done during the winter to the backboard was obvious. The insulating of the loft roof is only part done and condensation is still able to form on the reverse of the Thermawrap foil insulation and run down.
The decks are cleared.
Once the decks were cleared I started to think about track laying on this side of the layout. There will be a fair bit of track work to do at ‘Dales Peak Cement’ works, when I get that far. In the meantime, however, there are the tracks in the foreground to consider. The branchline leaving ‘Dalesmouth’, and the circular double mainline.
Some of the buildings for ‘Dales Peak Cement’ works, arranged in no particular order, on the upper level. One of the dummy road bridges is roughly in place. Evident too, is the missing track in the foreground.
Before I reworked the track layout of ‘Dalesmouth’ station, I did have one complete loop of the double mainline in place. Now, I’m going to starting piecing it together again, as far as track stock allows.
Track for the branchline being test fitted on the departure from ‘Dalesmouth’ station.
I had bought all the turnouts I needed to complete the innermost mainline circuit, but changes in the plans have meant that I haven’t necessarily got all the points I need now. So, I’m going to have to complete sections of track for which I’ve got all the parts, rather than in any logical order (So, nothing new there then!).
