Hello everyone, for many months now people have been saying that i should write a blog on RMWEB about my layout Penna Lane TMD so here goes. Penna Lane TMD was conceived during 2009 while i was under going treatment for kidney failure, i wanted to be able to run my locos at home when i was not able to get out to my local club to run my locos on the clubs layout Shildon which is in the Locomotion NRM museum at Shildon. once i had convinced my partner that it was a good idea boards were obtained and work started on track planning then laying it all, ill not go in to much detail as you will all know how this is done any way. Once i was happy with how the track looked that was it, the layout spent nearly 6 months with just track laid and wired in and not a lot else happening other than playing trains, until i was invited to take the layout to its first show at the Civic hall in shildon for the final model railway show to be held by the shildon model railway club at that venue, so work had to start again on the layout and this has taken many months to do and is still not totally complete yet but we ended up at shildon show which was very good for our first show, things then started to pick up pace with more invites to other shows and as you can see in the picture we have been to shows at the NRM Locomotion Shildon and shall be back there again this March for the Model motion event 15th/16th March 2014.
