Striking while the iron was hot… literally. Time to get at least a couple of bits of track down. No outlandish methods here, all classic stuff. The board were lined up and bits of sleeper-width thin card stuck in place, followed by pairs of EM copper-clad sleepers. These had been pre-gapped and the ends pre-drilled 0.7mm. This combo making up the depth of a Peco sleeper.
With the last two sleepers removed it was just a case of lining everything up and hitting it with some solder. At this juncture a couple of things were pushed over the new joint to test. All appeared well. Just the wiring and the remaining track to go down. There is something intrinsically comfortable about working with code 100, despite all that it has going against it in terms of scale and fine-ness. It just works with no fuss and is almost bomb-proof.
