After a unsucessful first attempt on DCC we decided to start again after one of the points gave way and running was poor. The new layout has been designed with electrofrog points and a completely new track layout. Taking things slow to make sure we get it right this time. The track's down and weathered and awaits ballasting. It's 7 foot long and about 1.5 foot wide. Control is the standard dynamics which was bought cheap at last year's Warley show.

Plans include more sound locos and fitting lights to the layout. Scenic work has stopped as we await the release of Bachmann's scenecraft oils tanks.

The current sound locos include:

Tornado (Olivias Trains fitted with lights)

DRS 37510 (Olivias Trains fitted with tail light mod and double speaker)

DRS 37688 (Olivias Trains fitted with tail light mod and double speaker)

DRS 37038 (Bachmann sound)

DRS 57 011 (Olivias Trains)

EWS 60 026 (Olivias Trains)

Freightliner 66522 (Bachmann sound)

Fastline 56302 (Howes sound)
