Trackmaking XI

I received another care package from Woodworks earlier in the week, and last night, finally got round to opening it. Another stack of rail and sleepers awaits.
Soldering iron set to melt and away we go. Even though it was only 6 straight sections of about 30cm it still took about 90 minutes to get it all done. I've left the track ends overhanging the edge of the baseboard and these will get cut back to the correct length when the track goes down on the next baseboard.


So, the track is down on the first (and by far the easiest of the 3 boards). Theres still a fair bit of work to do ironing out the rough spots and making sure that its all gapped in the right places. Its not the beginning of the end, but the end of the beginning.

(Oh, and the end of the module is square, its just the camera paralax thingy that makes it look like that).
