Thought I would start the track-work
Whilst the weather hasn't been conclusive to spray painting I though I should make a start on getting some track down.
Some months back I started adding my pre stained wooden ties to Fast Tracks paper turnout templates so they would be ready for when I got the bench work completed.
I wanted to start laying out the town of Gunnison where I had already laid the 3mm cork sub roadbed. I made this by stripping a sheet of cork approximately into 25mm strips and then stuck then down one on each side of the track centre line using No More Gaps using a colour not too dissimilar to the cork.
So off I went slowly at first as it is a long time between drinks for me and I needed to get myself in the right mood.
So this is where I am after a time at the layout for parts of the past few days.
Having the turnouts pre made by Big John and the templates completed has saved a ton of work.
Still a way to go however pleased to get underway.
Thanks again.

Great to see you are already at the track stage, I bet that feels good !
ReplyDeleteSure does. Finished the track in the yard yesterday except for the tracks from the T/Table to the shed.
