Well, since its been a while since the last update, maybe its time to bring things to update.

Since the last post, the 009 layout mentioned has now become 'Blaecwm'. I would take a photo of it in its semi finished state but as its buryied under a lot of other stuff, that'll have to wait. Also, Doveston and the other OO station layout have both been scrapped as I just don't personally like the ideas the two layouts were based around. However, this has left me needing a new layout, which is now underconstruction. Based on the concept of a 'Railway centre', similar to the one at Didcot, it should allow for a varirty of 'preserved' steam and diesel engines to run. However, to make it all work, it has to be DCC powered which is done using the same Bachmann system off the former Doveston layout.

Until I get a chance to get take some more photographs of the project, here's a coloured in track plan showing my thoughts at present about scenics. The trackplan is already down and by some miricle, working as predicted so something must be going right.

Just need to go and get the rest of the materials needed before I can start some serious work on the layout's appearence.

Until next time,

Jon
