New Howto - Fitting a Zimo MX645 decoder into an Auscision 73 Class

I have finally finished the Howto that I was writing at the same time as doing the decoder install in the Auscision NSWGR 73 Class loco. The PDF of the Howto and the Zimo Decoder Manual can be linked to from the "Articles that I have written" page.

Signal box and outbuildings done

This week had me doing something different and get into building a Metcalfe kit of a UK signal box (LMS proto I think but could be anywhere in the UK). The kit also included a line side hut and a lamp shed.
These will be positioned close to the tunnel portal on the Bray MPD side of the layout. As such the 'box' will be seen from the rear side, so I haven't bothered to put a light in it. 

From L-R: lamp shed, signal box, line side hut

Slightly different view

Next week I think I will continue with another Metcalfe kit, probably the Factory/Warehouse. This way I can start the scenicing with the buildings closest to the tunnel portal first.
