A brief video of the start of laying track for Little Wotton.
Apologies for the sound distortion around 6:20 - 7:35 - I think my wireless microphone had some interference issues.

You may also want to consider extra dropper wires if you want trains to stop at signals, stations etc… a long with track being isolated.

Good point

Going through the same process of laying track. Even if you signals etc… later. Easier now to solder wires onto the track.

Another good point :-) Hope your track laying is going well. Mine is a little frustrating at times as I am using the Peco Flexi track and while it is very good I sometimes find fixing one end causes the other end to move more than I need it to :-) But still it is fun and hopefully I'll have a complete circuit in a week or so. Off to the NEC on Saturday so I expect I'll come back with lots of ideas.

I am also only using Peco flexi track. I stuck down the cork strips using copydex. Then use some pvc glue not too much to hold the track in place. Weigh it down and let it dry before adding the next section. Then test with a locomotive. The glue allows me to easily adjust as needed. Do a couple of sections every day. Not the fastest method.

I am doing the same thing. Cork strip then track with a small amount of glue 😀 And then test with a loco.

There is enough of a gap between sleepers to solder. Cut away the plastic, use some flux and tin the track and wire. Using a single core makes it easier, just bend with the wire pointing out.

Thanks John. I'm working on it 🙂
