Building the second TMD

I had some time off work and a box of track, so I decided to build the new TMD. This now means that almost all track laying has been completed on the layout.

Hi mate, just noticed you using a ruler there, whats the minimum space apart for tracks if you dont mind me asking?

[EverardJunction]

@jasonandjoesrailway I go with about 40mm

[EverardJunction]

@jasonandjoesrailway Yeah that's rail to rail. Its far to cold at moment to do any filming.

Have you ever shown how you control your points, a chart or panel board or something?

[EverardJunction]

@jasonandjoesrailway I made a vid called fitting a point motor. It covers most of the points system.

[EverardJunction]

@Jamies2804 I use 1 meter lengths of flexitrack. I cut it to many different sizes.
