What went wrong on Murranbilla

NB: Warning this is an intensive critique!

What went wrong…

Modules not named very well
Leg marking on adjustable legs not consistent enough to level layout
Simple nut & bolt to join layout not good enough
6mm top board not thick enough
Not enough bracing
Cork taken to all joins rather than incompressible wood/material
Some modules needed handholds to safely put layout in trailer
Electrical joins too rigid
A lot of electrical should have been conducted if it didn’t concern a module it passes through
The use of the older style Shinohara points, requiring in-situ mods.
Control panels and back scenes interfere with each other when setting up
Electrical connections p;lugs keep loosing wires.
Plaster on layout could be a little thinner over the foam
No end profile boards for better scenery matching.
Not enough staging

When joining the modules this should align the modules and level them at the same time.
Lightest module possible, yet no compromise on structural strength.
Represent the area as accurately as we can – a first for our club selecting a prototype to model
DCC & DC operation
Keeping some shunting to do
Allowing a wide variety of trains to operate on the line
Ensure we have PLENTY of staging !
Easy to set up modules
Easy to put in trailer transport
Ensure the layout cannot be placed against another, to prevent viewing of the areas we want them to see
