After completing a number of jobs around the house, I managed to get some time on the weekend to spend in the train room. I also got parts of the steelwork for the layout back from the powder coaters on Friday, so therefore construction could finally begin.

I spent some time working on level heights before the sending the parts to the laser machine to be cut. ( Excuse the drawing. It is not as clear as I would have liked. )

Freshly cut and still on the machine.

Powder coated and ready for assembly.

Assembled and in the basic position.

Light box fitted, LED strip light roughly installed to test.

Level 1 Benchwork and Light box Valence fitted.

Level 2 Benchwork ( Part of my previous layout ) moved into position, as well as the backdrop and a few trains added to see the results.

My next step will be to move Level 3 & 4 into position so I can finalize the heights. Once that is done I can start construction on the first helix to link all the levels together.

Details will follow.
