Looking good.
How are you securing the track on the glass bridge?

Decided to do a YouTube channel to inspire me to progress even faster... but before that something amazing happened... we ran a train all the way around the layout! Only the one track at the moment (the other have a dead spot for now) and with a little voltage drop at the furthest point.

The amazing thing was we just hooked up the power supply to the mains and off she ran! I am so amazed! The Kato track does an amazing job of passing the power through the tracks and fishplates.

Go https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TxoHLviIUU&t=42s to see a video of that first day's run. Also our Dachshund Zorro's dislike of the model train - that's why my layout is 1.4m off the ground! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GngIYxeTEqY

The full channel is https://www.youtube.com/@edwardkeown9824.

Work is keeping me busy and honest at the moment but I had a few mates over today. I got my SP Daylight out and was ready to pack it in when I figured out a Kato led light was shorting out the train/layout.

Made a few more videos and loaded them up on youtube… Njoy them here https://youtube.com/@edwardkeown9824

How are you securing the track on the glass bridge?

I have a feeling I won't have to worry too much about fixing the track to the bridge IF I secure it at the edge of the bridge on the Kato track. Think I'll be ok then. Already noticed some dust on the bridge - normal if the walkthrough to the garage and the cars are through the train room (small compromise to get a train room). I think I'll be able to just vacuum the bridge with a brush attachment. I also have a cleaning train that have a vacuum car...I might have two of them  :innocent:

Think I'll be ok then. For now I need to wrap up my day job for the year so I can take a really nice 3 week holiday and work some more on the layout. :thumb:
