Revealing a multitude of wires!

It has been a long tine since I did any work on my 00 gauge My Last Great Project layout but work has recommenced - for now anyway. Who knows what might sideline this!

I still have a great deal of wiring to do and I still need to split three of the four baseboards so that the whole layout is, and I won't say portable but I will say moveable! All the tracklaying was completed back in April ( that post is here )of this year with 86 wires attached to the tracks to wire up the power to the layout. There will be point motors as well so there will be about 200 wires by the time I have finished. 

First off is to cut through some rails at one of the baseboard joints.

My Last Great Project,

With a fine bladed saw these were cut through and it is always a moment I dread in case the rails rip from their sleepers but it went well!

My Last Great Project

With the rails cut through the end baseboard could be lifted for the first time sine installed to reveal a multitude of wires.

My Last Great Project

It is at this point you think that I wonder if i should take up flower arranging or fishing as a hobby! However with a bit of thought (not my strong point!) and patience (not a strong point either!) things become organised!

My Last Great Project

This is going to take some time!
