Extension board loaded with 3 of in bound trains. These will be dropped off to be shunted/sorted by the sidings 08 according to how the drawn dice dictate.
Once built the trains will be collected and run off back onto the board.

Please do not mention the wonky door handle or chipped paint work, Mrs PT is already nagging me to 'Get the decorating finished" :D

John :):)

One of the jobs I have had to put off over the past few weeks was an upgrade to the fish plates on my track. This afternoon I managed to get around to tackling the fiddley task.

Having bought some plastic fish plates from C&L Finescale I set about getting them in place. The only thing required to make them fit well is to remove the tab from the back of each one. It is then just a case of gluing them in place.
Remember they are in pairs 1 plate has 4 nuts on while it's partner has 4 round heads on.

Once the glue was dry I just added a dab of rusty coloured paint to each one.

John :)

PS please excuse the loose static grass I need to hoover it up.

Just caught up with this thread John, after being otherwise engaged. Like the extension - it all makes for more entertaining operation. Keep up the excellent work.

It also makes for a most entertaining operation when anyone wants to leave the room.
I think your next project John should be a foot bridge to crossover the tracks. ;)
