Point actuator
Generator engine
Generator room balcony
New board scenery
Laurence progressed the point actuator, including carrying out to mods to the servo. Thoughts again turned to incorporating the additional micro-switch that will be needed for the frog. Finally, the switch was 'piggy-backed' on the first, and a strip soldered across the two levers.
Geoff had decided that rather than have the new motor drive directly on the fly wheel, an idler would be introduced between them. This would allow the motor to be mounted further below the engine and fitting easier. The idler was soon being turned up. This would be mounted on a swinging arm that allows adjustment of the pressure applied on the the other two elements.
Having developed the idea of the balcony, Stephen made up the steelwork frame.
We had discussed the final section of the scenery on the new board and glued some blocks of foam in place. We had also discussed how the building would be incorporated into the high wall. Stephen made up a small retaining wall and fitted a capping using left-over strips from the bridge. The rear wall was shaped and another capping glued in place. The building was to be part of the wall rather than sit in front of it, so a section of card was removed from the back.
