Hi all been a while since I have been on the forum still can't get over that Owen now has a shed puts my progress to shame!Well where do I start.
First I had that camera inspection that came back all clear so still none the wiser as to what the problem is.
Second I managed too get to the bottom of why the layout wouldn't work after being reassembled in the garage. Turns out that when I painted the fiddle yard boards the paint had caused the MERG kit to see invisible trains! This caused the controllers to hold locos as they thought that there was a loco in the next section. Modifying the controllers to 'turn down' the track sensor has got round the problem just a shame I didn't find the problem sooner as I had to pull out of another show earlier this month at shildon. Staying with the electrics a big bag of LEDs has just come in the post for the control panel that I have been chewing on with over the past few weeks. The panel looks the part just have to make it all work so yet more weeks of electrics…. :roll:

The phone is an intercom between the garage and house.

Love the flowers around the base of the model railway owners sign outside his grounded brake van body!
Are the handrails on top of the gantry meant to be loose wire or should they be rigid steel? If rigid steel I found that brass rod was ideal.
Just a thought, I'm sure you've got plenty else to sort before the show. Best of luck.
cheers

ps. I've deleted your other post as it's pointless having it twice.

No seriously Max there are 4 scenic baseboards so I put 2 of them face to face and attach some MDF end panels with hand holds cut out. These then turn the baseboards into 2' x 4' x 18" boxes that fit in the camper van. I have done the same with the 5 boards that make up the rear storage yards these all fit together to make a similar sized box. The odd one out is the one with all the electronics on it. All the legs fold inside the baseboards out of the way. The rear part of the scenery is on separate boards that just bolt on. ;-)

It's been more than worth all the gnashing of teeth and long hours.
These are seldom awarded, and even less often in multiple.
