For some reason I cannot get any enthusiasm to get on with the layout. However I have not stopped modelling. At the moment I am putting together a rake of Kirk Maunsells. Work on these originally stopped when Hornby announced theirs. Working away through weathering my fleet of loco's and have finished crewing them.

Some of you may be aware that when my Hornby coaling tower arrived it was broken. Well, the replacement arrived this week and using some excellent material in help and advice section I have put this together using Plastrut, Evergreen strip and Will's sheets. Obviously not in it's intended location, but when there, I will build a pit for it to drop into. Still needed are cables to haul it up the ramp.

This will find a home on the layout I am planning for the loft. Though most of the layout will loosely be based on Dunkerton Colliery on the Camerton branch, where the branch joins the main line there will be an MPD.
