Happy new year - after a very long absence from working on the layout things are again progressing. Baseboard construction is now completed from the Camden terminus to the fiddle yard, There are 6 modules in total:
Camden
Nepean River
Elderslie / Kirkham
Narellan
Currans Hill
Kenny Hill / fiddle yard
The walk around layout is tight even after reducing the original curve radii. The backdrop is predominantly wall mounted with about 60 % now installed.
The 2023 plan is to complete the backdrop and all tasks requiring module separation and get the mainline for want of a better term in place so I can run trains end to end - the missing link is still the trestle approach to the Nepean River crossing. Structures and detailing will then take place. I have a friend in the area who has a brilliant layout based on NSW Central West fully operational and amazing DCC/ sound functional however still lots of scenic and detailing work. This meeting originally through Historic vehicles has prompted a rekindling of getting things going again and we are now assisting or perhaps motivating each other.
