Not had much chance to do much until recently, with a combination of illness, being away and bad weather (the layout is in the garage). However, I have finally started to lay some track.
As the 009 track is going to be raised relative to the standard gauge, it is on short sections of wood, and I could take two of these into the house to fix the points on. I have never used electrofrogs before, or under-the-baseboard motors, and cannot claim to be that competent with a soldering iron, but it seemed to go okay.
I am using SEEP motors, with a big hole for the rod to connect to the point, securing them with drawing pins, then checking the point moves as I flick the motor by hand. I just need to test them with power to check they work, then screw these boards to the main board.
