Terraces creeping to conclusion

A quick update of the week that has been. The terraces progressed with the installation of the loft floors which also incorporated the external guttering (for some reason!). Next to do are the rooves. This will be tedious as there are a lot of overlapping 'tiling' strips to be glued down, but it does look good in the end.

On the wifi dongle issue with the Raspberry Pi there were some solutions bantered about on line but nothing you would say is a definitive answer. I'll wait and see what happens this week. Once this is sorted out I get back to working out to do the UDEV rules so that JMRI can connect to the layout.

On the MERG CBUS front, I have been reading about RocRail (European software and hardware developer) and their associated CAN based modules that can be used with MERG CBUS. They offer some additional functionality to those from MERG.

So this week more on the terraces I reckon as I do want to finish it ASAP to get it behind me and ready for the modelling competition at the Club. Today I showed Lachlan how to do static grassing, and he went ahead to grass his diorama. Not bad for a first attempt.
