Some more work today despite the good weather and the ash. I managed to pop into Model Railways Direct in Portishead. I thought despite its location (in the middle of a housing estate) its a brilliant shop. Excellent range of bits for OO and they price match with the big box shifters in the RM. They also have alot of the bits and pieces and are planning to get more lines in. I fully recomend them as a customer. I also finally managed to get my two ground signals (they don't have any left now :D). Now I've got these and the 3rd rail bits I've put off doing the wiring to finish the rear scenic area.
I've put the new walling in along the rear and through some ingenuity using a Peco Trainshed building cut about i have a suitable building to fit the gap. It will get a new coat of paint before being anglicised a little bit to try and hide its origins. The ground signals have also now been drilled. The next job is to drill the holes for the 3rd rail, just need to remember to do it every 4th sleeper. Theres also the flasher unit to installed, the trouble I'm not sure i have the right bulb after the first one failed. The new bulb just doesn't look right.
I'm also still contemplating whether to use Peco point motors with base plates or stay with the seeps. The Seep motors have no adjustments and seem a little down on power. That's a decision that doesn't need to be made yet however.
