Reconfigure the engine shed head shunt point motor to the correct orientation.
Repair the pipework frame hiding the fiddleyard aperture.
Line the shelf spaces for the two new boards.
The two new boards were set up alone and the control panel/power was connected. Geoff then used the MERG point configuration device to reset the point correctly. This can be a laborious job, but it was quite quick this time. Stephen repaired the frame with epoxy glue.
A sheet of old packaging protection MDF was found to enclose the two shelves used to store the new boards. These are in the 'machine shop', where high levels of sawdust are created. Side panels were cut out of the 3-4mm MDF and bolted in place. Off-cuts were fixed to a batten to form a rear shelf for the top. Another offcut of thin ply sealed the open side.
A panel of old starched roller blind material will be cut to size and captive magnets used to fix it to the steel frame.
It had been intended to investigate the recurring short circuit discovered at the Salisbury show. With the boards setup and connected, it was only a short time before it was realised that to test for the short circuit, the whole layout would need to be setup. Project saved for another day!
