While most people migled at the nearby beach in the varm sunny summerdays in mid july, I took the opportunity to assemble all the sections of Finstadbru H0e outdoor on the terrasse. For three days and two nights. I was a bit worried of rail buckling in the strong sun, but only a small part by the watertower was affected. probably a week spot anyway, so good to find to be fixed. Rails are code 40 soldered to PCb sleepers. 1 PCB and 3 balsa sleepers gives PCB sleepers ca 3.5cm apart. Works fine. Lenght of rail max 50cm.
I have now finetuned all joints between the sections. I use interscrew nuts and bolts M6. I am now ready to proceed with laying track to the sidings connecting kassefabrikken and later the sawmill to the railway. While having all outdoor in the fine weather, i took the oportunity to take some photos:
Here is a "dronefoto" from the balcony of the entire model incorporating the four old sections
