LooVille Marklin mini-club Double track Layout

[LooVille]

........ Step 2 .........

I do not have the plans, so I traced the shaped onto news paper, cut it out and redraw on the the Plexiglass.
Then I used my Dremel to cut it, works extremely well.

This is going to look awesome

........ Step 3 .........

All the blue pieces was cut.
Now for the white one.

Need the track to make sure everything lines up where it is supposed to....

[LooVille]

I stripped everything off the original board.
Cleaned all the track and transferred it over to the new layout.
Then I tried to fit the turntable so it make sense and so that it will work.
Making sure I can park a loco and also have enough space to run it off through the turntable onto a siding and back onto the layout.
Think this will work well.......

I used Lego to pack as the turntable need 40mm clearance

........ Step 4 .........

Last few cuts for the main layout.
Final test fit before I start to glue the layers together......

I can see the kids running to mommy, dad is stealing our Lego.

I still like the original more??? Maybe I'll reserve final judgement till I see it in real life...

[ColWer]

Wow, this really stunning. Very Nice. 

[LooVille]

Good Evening All.

OK, some more work was done, facia fitted 

[LooVille]

Then just to make my life a bit more difficult I decided to make the bridge from clear Plexiglass 

I also bought a 8mm clear rod. This I cut 6mm and 3mm pieces for the supports.

[LooVille]

No I can put the track back.

Everything is back on and spaced and taped.

Next is to drill the holes for the wires.
Then I can fit the catenary base plates again and then permanently fit the track.

[ColWer]

Just amazing. 

[LooVille]

Right, last small stretch for the layout....... 

Catenary is back in place.
I also marked and drilled the holes for the wiring from the points and the track power.

Then the big task to do all the wiring. Wow  took 3 days to complete, but I'm happy.
Everything is tested and is working like it should.

[LooVille]

I also added some feet to the layout again. 100mm x 40mm 3mm Plexiglass block with a rubber bottom.
Just round it off nicely.

I have also cut in some handles on the fascia and glues in some wooden blocks on the back. It is quite surprising on how heavy this layout have become.
