More Blue Pullman playing

Playing about after moving baseboards around half the day by getting the 8 car 'conversion' set out (and holding together with gravity!) to put the two side by side. Also the four extra spare cars in the bay... It also highlights that I need a bigger room for longer platforms.....!

Blue Pullman unpackaged

Again another quick post but I have now had the Pullman out of the box properly but due to the layout still being in lots of bits can't connect it all together and test it!

A few pics follow with my Triang/Kitmaster coversion being an interloper...  It does highlight the touch up needed following the fitting of the LEDs in the front though!

Quick update

A very quick update after a real lapse since August.

Quite a bit of progress has been happening but mainly under the surface trying to get all the wiring sorted on the station boards - still need to order switches for the control panel - but the main connections are all (hopefully) in place even through the actual connectors between boards still need to be decided upon....


The real purpose of todays update though is this little box that arrived this morning.  Only had a quick look so far but it makes my ongoing project to create a 'decent' cross hybrid of Triang & Kitmaster 8 car Western Region unit look very beginnerish!
