Not much going on other than I will model the engine shed area as it is now. The turnout to the shed needs a bit of alteration, as the length of the switch is fine but the crossing needs to be a smaller angle which in turn will then need to be curved slightly. Have been too busy to work on it.

 

I have found both some stained turnout timbers in thin ply to match some EM gauge Society 8'6" sleepers along with plenty of Exactoscale and C&L 2 bolt chairs.

 

I bought a Southeastern Finecast part built 02 loco, 00 gauge with Gibson type wheels and small open frame motor. The build quality is not good and was in a M7 box with the remains of a M7 chassis etch and not the 02. As I am building to EM gauge I ordered a new chassis etch, steps, and roof which were either broken or missing. I have a couple more Wills 02's so one may get the 00 gauge chassis and I have a box-less M7.

 

By coincidence I won a lot off eBay with lots of spare parts including a set of Gibson Milled mainframes and etched hornblocks, so I may end up with a pair for the layout !!
