Deep into the ritual of track laying with the TT. There have been some hiccups. Well, more U-turns. OK, if I’m honest, it really wasn’t working and I had to change my entire mindset. Was this a product fault? Obviously I cannot say tha…

And into the meat of the project. Unusually, I may put more up here about this one. Most of this is now a repeating cycle of build operations and I’m struggling to make any difference between the previous builds. Essentially I have a) a bri…
As always there are a couple of side projects to do while the glue is going off. The first is Mr. Hill’s Gauge O project. In an idle moment I grabbed a point plan (blown up some years back from the EM gauge society stash). This was stuck to a bit…
