I did warn you it would be a slow burner !
Today I got the base rust and sleeper grime coat down on the goods yard area (the only track in place and pinned atm).
Once painted and top of the rails cleaned, even though none of the dropper wires are connected, I tested out continuity with a cheap old Hornby set track controller and a 1980's manufactured 0-4-0 saddle tank.
Despite not being happy on the bullhead point checkrails (maybe B2B, maybe just older, chunkier wheels), she happily picked up power everywhere- result !
Next job is connecting the droppers under the boards for this section, but that's for another time, my back told me it was time to stop for now
