It's curtains for the Scalextric layout

Literally.

I was fed up with how messy everything looked under the table with boxes of cars and wargaming terrain on one side, and dozens of games on the other.  So a couple of chequered flags have now been transformed into curtains.


On the left you can also see the grab picker I recently bought for retrieving those troublesome cars that deslot in the far corner.  No-one else can reach them unaided and I'm doing my back in trying to reach over every time!


On the right hand side, you can see the lighting board.  There's a 24V supply that goes through these switches to the various lighting circuits on the layout.  The first four items on the left hand list are all constructed and wired.  The other switches are ready for future lighting projects - the compass points are to indicate areas of the track that may have lamppost-type lighting at some point.


And yes, I did do the sewing of the curtains all myself (proof below!) but I was supervised by a responsible adult.
