The adventure to Ally Pally over we turned our attention back to Cwm Carno
TAFKATYS made a set of card mock-ups of the main colliery buildings to enable us to assess how they would fit into the layout topography and affect sight lines.
Meanwhile, back in the workroom, Luke has started on one of the points for Cwmcarno. The sleepers and timbers are cut to length and by the end of the session all were in place using double sided tape. Then there will be a bit of soldering to be done.
Continuing on Friday with the trackwork, more etched chairs were folded up by Mr C. After cutting off the fret they are folded with forceps, then finally shaped against the blocks with a screwdriver. Meanwhile Luke was soldering some into place.
For the control panel TAFKATYS tried out wiring and programming coloured LEDs to indicate the position of the points on the track diagram. This was successful so now the rest of the LEDs need wiring in.
