My Model Railway Layout, Episode 6 Scotchloks, Droppers & Bus Wire Connecting

Quite a bit to bring you up to date with this episode - including the name you chose for the layout!
It was a busy January as I completed laying both Up & Down mainlines to give myself two DCC ready lines. Then it was a case of fitting the remaining droppers and connecting those to the bus wire. For this I used Scotchloks(which seem to be a love or hate amongst modelers!)as soldering underneath the baseboards would be very difficult and not very safe.
After that everything was ready for connecting up to my NCE Power Cab and testing, but with the brand new DCC Concepts Aegis system I'd ordered due for delivery the next day I waited for that to arrive - unboxing and review coming up in my next episode!
Filmed during January 2024.

    Hiya, If you don't mind some advice, don't have 4 90° corners, have 2, under 90° like 75-80°, and the other 2, over 90° like 105-100°. Also make the lines also 5-10° off from the base board/walls like a diamond shape, as I think it looks a bit to clinical at the moment and before fixing the track, do the surface sculpturing If you want hill/valleys etc. Good luck what ever you decide.

    All advice welcome. I'm trying to make each corner curve different as possible, but it is a little constrained by the running a full length HST which means the curves pretty much have to start immediately on the start/finish of the station for instance, unless I go for a curved platform of course, but then that gets complicated with turnouts, etc. There are plans for a hillside tunnel and cuttings plus a river/lake, so nothing is set in stone 100% yet.
