Well, since the last update, Weller Street has changed dramatically.

In fact, it is no more. To be replaced by? Weller Street Mk2.

I wasn't happy with the baseboards for various reasons - mostly the fact that they were built badly, with the raised level as an afterthought.

The old layout was gutted over the Easter weekend and rebuilt totally, from the ground up, to this new trackplan;

After a little over 2 weeks worth of work, massive progress has been achieved.

• All Boards built
• Wiring completed
• Tortoise Point Motors fitted and working
• Test trains running

Frankly, this makes previous progress look glacial in comparison. It all works well, it looks great and the layout is coming on great guns. By the end of this weekend, the underboard stuff should all be complete, which is excellent, as it will allow me to relax a little and play around with the scenics.

Next on the agenda?

• Program Hare decoders to different addresses
• Build Platforms & screw into position
• Test, Test, Test!
