12. 19 April 2025 The Loop through the Shed is Finished

The loop that runs through the shed is now complete; it is essentially a large passing siding but I plan to put some scenery that suggests a township behind it.
 I now have a function loop of track to run trains on as I work on the two point to point sections of the layout as well as getting the servo controlled points working..

My 1:20.3 Bachmann Consolidation (Connie) was used for a few test runs as it is the largest wheelbase with the biggest overhang of all my locos and all went well.

 Included in the loop is a 3D printed G scale point (link below), this is the first time I have used 3D printed track work so I will watch it with interest.  As it is out of the sun it should last a fairly long time.

 G-scale switch - compatible with LGB R5 (18050/18150)
