What did you use for ballast in the end Kenny?
As someone who finds n gauge fiddly enough I am in awe...
I moved house fairly recently so I dismantled it. Currently looks like this...Have you still got your N Gauge by the way?

A little spartan at the moment...
Ikea Linmon table tops make great baseboards for N gauge layouts. They may need strengthening along the long axis with some extra timber to stop them sagging, but their hollow construction is ideal for hiding points and things inside. Great if only to prototype on. Sadly they're not available online so I'm not resurrecting my N-gauge idea any time soon.
That looks the business Kenny. What are the little belt-driven wheels used for - polishing or similar ?
After all the veggies are planted out this weekend and lawn is scarified I'll get back to a lock down project.
I'll give my eyes a rest though from T Gauge for a while and start a refurb program on this 50 year old relic instead
My Grandfather built a working steam engine from a former brass shell case when he was in training with REME I believe. I must find out where it is and refurb it, we used to enjoy it when I very young.
Mostly finished the construction of my little turnout
