Well the layout has taken a back seat of late one due to money and the other being my illness cropping up again.

I've had some more surgery where they did some monitoring of my condition for a few days where I was wired upto a laptop again. Just waiting on a decision from my surgeon if he is going to do more to me before I start back with the layout.

I have however since my last trip to the hospital been back to work which means I'm back to being able to buy things so I wasted no time in ordering one of the new Dapol class 67's 67008. I've got it running in on my rollers as we speak and I've also sorted the 156 problem as well after some good customer service from Mike at DRM. As I got a replacement 156 with the settle one blowing decoders.

With regards to the layout nothing scenic apart from that archway has been done as yet as I think it might be better to do when it's wet and dingy outside.

I'll keep you updated on how I get on when I get back into it.
