New Connection for the Controller and Test Running

I've had the connection between the controller and the track power setup using using a couple of crocodile clips with the other end being some brass screws.  A bit too fiddly and the brass screws had got a bit tarnished, so I decided on an update -  a hifi speaker connector and socket that I had stashed away,

controller in position and connected up in the control box (an old external letter box) ....

Run testing - hoorah the soldering I had done worked ok and the trains they did a run ... the little speeder

and a first run on the garden layout for the big 2-8-2 Bagnall.
