Well the wiring on the main scenic boards has been completed. The panel however has been stripped, sanded down and is being resprayed a lovely black shade. With this lovely weather its drying quicker than is normal so it should be ok to use within another 24 hrs (it needs one or two more coats as the paint is quite thin (gloss black from the pound shop)). Once this is dried i can then begin refitting the panel out. So far all of the switches have been sorted and are ready along with the tag strips and the main power din plug. All i need now is for it to dry.
There still plenty to do in the mean time though, mainly this time concerning the fiddle yard. Originally i was going to make it folding however on the first time of trying this i realised i didn't leave enough depth for the track so it meant they were being forced in unnatural directions. So 've had to remove them and instead mount some standard 2x1 strip wood on top and while using a flat surface (not many of those around) reattach these folding arms. Then it should all clear. Also i need to wire it up as currently all of the wires are just loose. To do this i need to add the tag strips which i still need to do. Once this is done it is literally the panel left to do. Hopefully then the panel should be ready and then i can begin on that. As i said it never seems to end....
