Whilst the 00 layout (Sempach Station) is still far from being started I've decided to start work on the 009 layout as due to it's size and it not being a permanent layout (as in it will be stored away when not in use) and will be about half the size I thought it would be good to start building it. I have got the track for the scenic section and the left over flexi track can be used for the 009 fiddle yard whilst the set track used on the 00 part can be complimented with by abundance of Hornby set track (as that fiddle yard only need 2 sidings for the 150 and 153). The next stage will be building baseboards and working out the size of the fiddle yard. The aim being to get at least the 00 branch line to be operational before my clubs open day. The current roster of 009 locos include a Gmeinder and Bagnall by minitrains and a Bachmann skarloey which will be something to entertain the youngsters. With a Bachmann baldwin on the way the collection is slowly growing.
I have yet to decide on whether to add the turntable or not as while it may add operational interest it may restrict room and make wiring more complex. This will be decided after advice from club members. Also the layout will soon need a name something related to North Wales but will probably be a fictional name.

Thank you for reading and I hope to bring more updates soon.
