This started with me trying to do a backscene. Well, I almost have but it has led to other things. To get the backscene onto the backing boards I have to divide and move the layout about to get at them. Not all that difficult since it was designed to be moveable. While it’s out I might as well pave the street between the station wall and the backscene since its much easier to do from the rear of the layout. Oh, and sort out various bits, add the fixings for the station platform and stair.

Of course if I’m putting the steel screws in the platform to meet the magnets in the station building I might as well drill through for the lighting feeds. Hmm, since I have the drill set up I could also drill through for lamp posts. Might as well install them while I’m at it. I could just wire them all up as well……..

See what I mean, tasks that grow.

Anyway, some badly focussed snapshots .

A railway room that the Caledonian pup has to thread her way to the comfort zone.



The pup really is fed up with being scared of fireworks. So am I. I know it’s a railway site and I’m probably going to get shouted at, but there is an official petition to ban firework sales to the general public. Easy to find.
