Thought I would update everyone on progress with the Westford extension. We have now laid all the track and ballasted it. A start has been made on fitting the point motors (switch machines) and doing the final wiring up. We have also made a start on the scenery. Here is a couple of photo's, more can be found on our Website at: New extension page Or visit our Home page at: Home Page The track is now complete! The ballast in the forground has only just been laid and is, as yet, un glued. Eye level view of the junction. Fenton (well, his hand, any way) using a paint brush to spread the loose ballast between the sleepers. A light sprinkling of snow? No, just the glue! It will soak in a little more yet, and will dry clear. A mix of PVA and water (50/50) with a drop of washing up liquid (a 'Wetting agent'. makes the mix soak in to the ballast quicker) A large syringe is used as a dropper, a thunb on the top gives some control over how much glue gets out!
