Despite a side track (no pun intended) with planning a US HO switching layout. Some work has progressed with the layout. Just the last Helix to cut and fit and we can really start to progress with scenery. Warley led to a couple of purchases (Kato Turnout Switches for 2 of the points, a Faller Chapel, and some tunnel portals).

The first box with complete trackbed.

Starting to build up the contours, little Wollastonblue thought it hilarious to scrunch up newspaper.

We glued down some of the Tomix track, and we have forfeited the fiddle road underneath the station area. Mainly as the 140mm Radius Turnouts are not friendly to the loco, strange as the 140mm curves are not a problem. Little Wollastonblue wondered why I was using Mommy's heavy cupboard food.

The 2nd Box now has a track bed ready to go.

Finally laid out all the track bar the right hand helix. I think it looks pretty good, Mrs Wollastonblue didn't realise it would be that big! Wait til she finds out I'm planning another layout.

I'm hoping to get cracking with scenic work over the next month or so.

Cheers for now.
