July Progress

Again little to report this month as I have been away on a trip interstate. When I returned it was time for a bit of a clean out which resulted in over half of my rubbish bin being filled!  Less clutter to look through when I have "put someting in a safe place".


Hornertown East Yard

My work mate Ross has been building the flour mill which will combine three Cornerstone Centennial Mill Kits using both fronts giving a overall length between external side walls of 1495mm. Did you pick the change from the June update - we were 15mm too small with the backboard - oh well we'll just work around it!.

The mill will sit behind the shunt main and three track coach yard.


Hornertown Wiring

As mentioned last month "droppers, droppers and more droppers...." a couple of pics

The track bus wiring still awaits along with turnout motor installation.


Shelving under the layout

Here's a couple of pics of what we did last month the migration of "stuff" to under the layout has now commenced.

Daveyston Passenger Station

BJ has been busy again in my absence. His work continues to amaze me...

Staging approach from Fleets Loop

some bench work installed and track laying has commenced however until the eastern end of the Hornertown yard has the wiring and point motors installed the final install track laying cannot be done.

Grade down to staging and up from fleets loop to the main behind Hornertown.

Entry to staging under the eastern end of the Hornertown Yard.


Helix track work extended to meet the lower level main

Lower main tracks in the foreground with the bridge extending down to the Fleets Loop area and the main tracks against the backdrop this area is one end of the double track dog bone design.

Thanks must continue to go to the Monday night crew, Tuesday crew and work mate Ross for their continued assistance.
