Well it's been quite a while since I last posted an entry in my blog...so most definitely time for an update!
There hasn't really been any work done on the layout itself, other than a move to the other side of the room so that I had more space for it, it's now grown to 12ft x 2ft, but I'm still finding that I don't quite have enough space to do what I want to do.
There's been a few new additions to the loco roster, mainly through a few ebay purchases, I've gone from having 1 1/2 engine
Evening all, thought I better post an update on here! I've done a fair bit of work on the layout over the last couple of weeks in between job interviews (fingers crossed!), firstly I've removed the board that forms the short part of the L shaped baseboard, realised that in the end it just didn't look right, and removing it meant I could buy another bookcase to keep all my railway books and magazines on!

The Frizington Light Railway could work. Alternatively I may change the name of the railway completely, and go for the Slugwash Light Railway, as a homage to my old 00 gauge layout which was one of the earliest layouts featured on the original RMWeb, nothing like a bit of nostalgia!
Anyhows, I di
...there was 00 gauge, and a succession of layouts. Then in 2006 I purchased a Slater's 7mm Midland Railway 8T van kit off ebay, and was hooked! Needless to say, I've not looked back since then, though as of yet I've not actually managed to build myself a layout, combination of not enough space and too many ideas to get started I think. Over the last couple of years I've built up a fair sized collection of stock, its not particularly region specific, more of a case of, ooh I like the look of tha
