I'll see if I can get a close up of it tomorrow.

Well, the paintwork has dried, this is what the surface looks like.

The track has been relaid.

Working loco's testing clearances.

That stone effects paint lots like a very useful product.

My track clamps arrived in the post today So I've done a little more with my indoor/portable layout.

I'm using Hillman Clamps.

The first thing that I did with the clamps was to cut one side in half. This enables me to leave the clamp attached to the rail whilst undoing the other end enabling me to separate the track and boards.

Here is the track all removed after the clamps have been fitted, track aligned and screwed down.

Track being put together.

Here is one section joined together

Tomorrow, I'll do some test runs, would have done that today, but I think I've overdone it, suffering now :'(

And Mike, There's still a lot that I want to do before I take it to shows. So I think I'll miss this year, but next year I'll definatley be there.

Now I need a name for the yard :thinking::thinking::thinking:

Nice work mate!

As it seems to have an American theme, then maybe a US name....

Excellent idea for aligning the track joins, Steve - really looking forward to seeing this up and running!
How much scenery, buildings etc are you planning for it?
I guess a yard layout like this really lends itself to a backscene with some very low-relief industry, warehousing etc.
