Hi,

Right, today saw remodelling of Hythe's fiddle yard begin.

We Started by getting the Hop Field board up and ready to begin work at around 10:00 (About half an hour after I woke up! ). This was followed by ripping up the curve in 'Hop Cutting' in about 5 minutes (in real life this would take a week long possession and countless health and safety forms! ).

We went down to Hunts of Marlow to get some radius 3 curves, along with a tunnel mouth. We got back and started work again. Within an hour we had the track down and tunnel mouth in. We also cut the backscene to suit the new curvature.

We've just got to construct the tunnel and redo the scenery.

Unfortunatly nothing can be done until Friday as we have one of dads' old school friends, whose also a train fan, is coming to stay
