Hi Evert,
catenary in Z scale you don't see that very often.
Well done for trying that.  :thumb:
I see you have a BR 103, I also have one, but the original colour scheme.

I told him he's on his own too - I can't work with my sausage fingers under catenary... :loco:

Good Morning All.....

Lots of testing and running of trains to make sure everything is working well.
So finally I was happy and I decided to fit all the wiring. I also decided to add two plugs on the side of the layout to make everything easier.
So I bought 2 25pin Serial Port PC Plugs, I also cut the holes and fitted a frame around the layout and painted it black.

Picture 1 and 2.

Then I started with all the wiring and soldering everything together.
I still have to test and will then fix the wires with some silicone.

Enjoy the pictures and we will speak again.
Cheers, Evert  :biggrin:

Very neat.
That is the advantage of a small portable layout, when its time to do the wiring just turn
it upside down and work normally.  :thumb:

Good Morning All.....

Right so work is a bit slow at the moment, but I still have a hour or so in the evenings to do my own thing.
I have been running trains for the past week with the wiring and it works well.

So I went to me dad and we cut some wood so I can build the control panel.
I have also designed one again in CorelDraw and it was cut out in Perspex for me.

Last night I fitted all the wiring for the power to the track and ran a few trains. It all works very well.
Next step is to finish off the wiring for the points.

Enjoy the pictures and speak again soon.
Cheers, Evert.  :biggrin:
