Geoff - Extension board - finish wiring
Stephen & Laurence - Platform board - continue wiring
Following the previous session, we realised that things weren't exactly as we thought - wiring wise. We decided that we ought to spend a little time this week confirming where all the section breaks were and whether to keep them. The new board sections could also do with a review.
Then, it was time to review the point operation. The thing is that several points fire at the same time and the connections occur on an awkward, soldered connector strip. In the end, we resorted to the capacitor-discharge unit, made the previous week.
Happy that all was now resolved, it was time to complete the new loom connection/socket wiring. Laurence was almost driven to despair changing his schedule as the joined point feeds were incorporated. It didn't help that one or two points were wrongly labelled on the board.
Stephen presented the stairs built for the end of the store. It has a polyboard core, brick paper covering and balsa wood steps.
