The layout was taken to the CHMRC's secret clubroom bunker to be erected as a whole (or as whole as it currently is) for test running.
This shot below nicely illustrates the size of the layout. What you see here is full length but only a third of the eventual depth!
It turns out to be a good thing that Himself decided to do some test running because he has discovered a few snags. A point motor switch required repairs. One of NGG16 number 87's power bogie motors was squealing and needed a drop of lubrication.
And the outboard disc brakes on the KMX Tamper were fouling one of the foot crossings at the Porthmadog end of the station - the foot crossing was altered rather than the Tamper!
So, that's us just about ready to head to Winchester. Will we see you there?
