Good morning,
so last night I connected the first 8 platform lights.
Hand held camera so the pics are not perfectly sharp.
But I like them anyway. :thumb:

I also cleaned up the stairs a bit and fitted the upper border on it.
Now for some paint.

Aloha,
so I spent a few evenings working on my signal system. Got the last sensors
in and working.  :thumb:
So this afternoon it's testing time.
Six trains and then for more than 30 mins I had seven trains constantly running.
 :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
But then.
Oops.

A investigation is underway.

Hi all,
well the investigation revealed that the operator under the influence of Gin and tonic
had set a point incorrectly causing a head on crash. :rant: :lamer:
So since then all I have done is run trains and been placing magnets under more locos.
In some cases it's not that easy.

Aloha,
so between running trains as well as testing magnet placements I've
got a few more trains set up for the automatic system.  :thumb:
Including the VT 11.5 which has a magnet either side so it can run forwards or backwards.
Today I played a bit with my camera as well.

My underpass.
I've got some punks to place on the pavement to one side.
Trying to figure out how get them in there.
