Good day today for modelling, just like yesterday wasn't. The whole of Monday seemed to be taken up with those eleven exam papers- as they were practice ones I ended up writing the correct answers on the papers, and adding in other answers the students could have thought of. Definitely a mistake as it took me almost as long to mark each one as it took them to do the exam.
Still, one of them actually thanked me today- that is a rarity these days.
I've had the North end of "Farndon Road"'s fiddle yard upside down on top of my test track since last wednesday, to finish wiring in the control panel. All I managed over the weekend was to get the power supply from the call-on system to the panel (eleven soldered joints) and find out why the points wouldn't throw last wednesday- that turned out to be a duff lead. This evening I managed to wire in the point controls for the entry points (28 soldered joints) so I'm feeling a bit more relaxed about finishing the wiring in time for the layout's first show.
Not only that but I've got my LNER J25 and second J27 finished ready for use on Parnhams. Not only that but the crew in the J27 cab didn't have to be chased all round the cab before sticking - AND they stuck where I wanted them to. Impressive!
