Jon’s modules – a reorganisation and progress!
Since my last modules post, I have actually made steady progress with the layout. First of all, I finished all the wiring for the 1200mm module, and tested all the point motors and track feeds. For this task I used … Continue reading
Jon’s modules – new trains
I’ve spent some time in the loft room this week, and it’s back to the stage when I can get back to completing my N-club modules. We’ve moved the old bunk bed from the loft, and sorted out a lot of … Continue reading

Good progress on the modules this week. It’s been on the principle of, “If you want a job done, give it to a busy man.” It’s been busy at work, we’ve had the usual church build up to Christmas, and … Continue reading

Stuttgart 2014 #7 – Other halls, other interests
