The new D6300 looks right at home on the layout. Just trying it out to check it actually runs. Needs some fettling of the CVs, but that will have to wait.

Tonight I’ve moved on from mulled wine to something a bit stronger! 😃
Ballasting has started - I haven’t done this for ages and the “fun” hasn’t diminished 😞
But on the +ve side I can now declare that work on the scenery has started 👍

Rail painting is now finished, so I took the 08 for a spin to see if it still worked. After some scrubbing and scraping I got nice smooth running. Next step is to glue the track down.

More rusty rail painting today.
Coffee, tasty treats and some Fat Boy Slim tunes helped ease things along. I even managed to keep the paint off the new Christmas jumper!
I’m getting there - mostly touching-up to do and then on to ballasting.

Today I got stuck right in to painting the rails with Rail Match Dark Rust.
It’s slow-going but makes for a big improvement.Looking at the photos I’ll need to do some touching-up. It’s very difficult to tell the areas I’ve missed, from the areas of paint that catch the light!
This will take a while but worth the effort I think.

Experimenting with OO scale ballast today. This is Woodland Scenics' light grey fine ballast.
The colour is what I want and in terms of size, all the trackage is for sidings, so I think this is about right. But i'll sleep on it before committing to laying the stuff down!

A bit of "lash it together improv" to make the air brush easier to use!

A little more progress on my UK micro layout. Today I got stuck in to painting the track with the air brush. First up, a light coat of #RailMatch "sleeper grime", to tone things down a bit. Took care to keep the paint off the points for now.
I'll let this thoroughly dry, then paint the rails rusty.

Switching the plant.
Today I spent the afternoon operating a friend’s N scale layout. One of my Happy Places!

An important milestone today - I finally managed to complete the layout wiring this morning. I ran a test engine - this won't be the regular motive power!

Looking forward to a local model show tomorrow: https://newburymrc.co.uk/exhibition/

Is twisting your #NMRADCC Power Bus Wires absolutely necessary?
Does this impart magical properties?
No.
But it will reduce the inductance significantly...

@Seeadler Looks great! Looking forward to the development of a Mastodon equivalent to @[email protected]
