Hi everyone, Firstly I'm new to Blogging so going to take me a while to get used to the tools and process and make sure that the pictures in FlickR align with the content here so please bear with me on this. I actually started this project at Xmas so will quickly bring the blog upto the current status and then probably the hardest thing of all carry on with blogging whilst Building.

Like many of you I've come back to Railway modelling after a number of years break with work and Family. Crawley Yard is my 3rd layout since returining to the hobby in 2008 I think. The first two have been based around where I grew up in Poole Dorset and early recollections of walking the old lines, Unfortunatly I wasnt around when the services were pulled from the S&D but managed to walk over much of the Line between Poole and north of Blandford before much of the section was lost. Unfortunatly no photo's. My first layout was based on Broadstone and is now in the loft and my second based in Surminster Newton. I wanted a change from the S&D and now live in West Sussex so Crawley Yard is my response to that and the story to follow.

Planning on using FlickR for the Photo's, Hopefully link below works but you can find me their as grcoll222 - Gavin Collins
