Well after a lot of different ideas competing for an end on, stacked up space in a small airing cupboard, its hopefully time to tie up all the loose ends.

That 'clear moment' type thing came not only looking at a beautiful blue Loch Fyne yesterday, but also that there are some fairly big gaps in what I want out of N gauge RTR, I dont have the position time-wise to build alot of things and the combination of a new and decent-ish 24 and the prospect of the Dapol 26 becoming reality are what attracted me to the scale in the first place.

After a bit of time looking at ex NBR byways in Argyll, Cumbria and the borders, its time to focus on the currently 'easy option' that the good standards of the 24 and totally expected of Dapol with the 26.

There are hopes, but no gaurantees that a decent 25/27 will come out these respectively. However the N market is much smaller, so its time to make use of what we've got and are promised!

back to the map again:

I'm still in favour of a more Northerly route to Ullapool than shown, from Bonar Bridge, a proposed route could have served both Lochinver & Ullapool with a combined route up Glen Oykel. I have a title of Strathkannaird which could be Ullapool or Lochinver or maybe somewhere in between (there is a real one- but its spelt slightly different ) further reading from the old RMweb if you can be bothered!

going to 'publish' this before I delete it like last time ! (more later...)
