Currently I have been working on the layouts electronics mainly the installation of the MERG superbloc system on the first of the main running loops. This is now working ok and has given me 4 trains running in sequence on the first loop. Now that I have proved the system works I have to install it on the remaining 3 loops so another 18 circuit boards to build ……
Scenic wise I have made up the 2 rear back boards that fit behind the front viewing area and have started on the tunnel mouths.
Stock wise I have recently acquired a hornby Clan Line to run with my white roofed mk1 stock. :cool:

All of the MERG superbloc controllers are now built I just have to wire in and commission the up slow line. Last week the servos for the points and shed doors arrived so I have just ordered the MERG servo driver kits for these. Other developments over the past couple of months have seen the working washing plant built and a start has been made on the shopping center. Still a long way to go to have the layout ready for Jarrow show but im slowly getting there. 15 weeks today and counting …….

I trust the surgeon will be able to fix things up for you.
In the meantime continue your great build at a pace that suits you and you will get there in the end.
Cheers,
Derek.

Big changes to my employment status since I last posted as I had to give up my job for personal reasons. Consequently as I left im not really entitled to anything especially with my mrs working full time so I have concentrated on doing my westcoast miniatures stuff full time with a hope that it takes off. Last month I completed a set of buildings in N gauge of Crinlanich station. This build comprised of the loco shed, waiting room, tea room and old signal box. The buildings will making a show appearance in scunthorpe next month. With the proceeds from the buildings I am now working on a couple of EMU kits in 00 gauge. On the drawing board/workbench are classes 323 and 325 and there is already a lot of interest in these units. As most may know there is currently no 323 or 325 available in 00 so with a bit of luck they should do well. :cool:
Health wise I still dont know what the problem is although I do feel better since giving up work so maybe the stress of everything that was kicking off around me was contributing to me being so ill. I did have a scan at the hospital and no hernia showed up so now I have to go back and have a camera shoved down my neck!
I will be starting work on the layout again shortly as I have been given a show invite to locomotion in june. The layout has recently been reassembled in the garage after having a lot of electrical wiring done I just hope it all still works ok when I power it up again. The layout now sits on a timber frame that has allowed me to fit workbenches under it for doing all the westcoast stuff. Over the weekend I have cut down the old garage door and fitted a couple of windows in so now the garage has plenty of natural daylight coming in and is a much better place to be in.
Fleet wise I have rebuild most of the old locos with the new motors and am looking forward to 'testing' them over the next couple of weeks once I have the layout back up and running.
