Out on my morning bike ride I deviated along a village road I have never been down before and came across this.
Obviously an old bike and one even I feel confident of being able to outrun if chased given the flat tyres unless the rider was a Tour de France winner!
Back at WMD HQ there was more head scratching and brain strain today as I cut more holes for wires and point motors on my 00 gauge Last Great Project layout. This time I am working on one of the adjoining baseboards to the removable section. However before getting too far on with that I did remember an important fact. When I cut the rails between the baseboards I will probably do that with a cutting disc or saw so there will be a gap in the rails equivalent to the width of aforementioned disc or saw blade. having thought about this I have opened up the baseboard joint and inserted a piece of cardboard between the two boards.
Cardboard strip ready to be inserted between the baseboards.
The theory behind this is once the cuts in the track are made I remove cardboard and close up the baseboard joint which should see a minimal gap between the rails. Cunning or am I just waiting to fail? Have to wait and see!
Holes drilled and some wires soldered on.
.A lot more to do yet but I have time unless that Police bike catches up with me!
