The Easter weekend at last resulted in some progress on the track for the first board of my US fs160 layout.

This was helped by the fact that all this track is to be burried under a roadway meaning it could be done quickly with spare 2mm SA 9ft sleepers at generous intervals. The rail is Micro Engineering Code 40 rail for compatibility with the flexi track that will be used on board 2.<\/p>\n
