Any way it is based on th

Hi All
This is a layout that four of us have re made from three baseboards which have been loane to use. When they were obtained they had some track and some very dubious electrics. The four of us Paul Harrison, Gerry Partridge, Brian Carpenter and myself stripped the whole down and rebuilt the whole other than some of the original

Great photos.
The buildings look very much at home on the layout, superb modelling. Really like the NR 37s passing by!

Fantastic!
It's great to see such an ambitious version of something we all tend to compress and water down..... out of necessity in most cases. The structures are extremely impressive.
Well done guys

Hi Gareth,
Thanks for the comments
No we have no small plan of the layout but it is 28ft long by 10 ft 6" wide. The main plan is 28ft long for the track layout but a small plan is something that we most do so that it can be posted. Diesels will be run on the layout, the running period is from steam days to present day. Class 20's, 31's

Just a small update on the progress todate.More of the wiring hs been done as well as some of the base for more of the scenery. A couple of shots of the carcass of the vertical lime kiln building as it was on Friday last. Work has also started on the underpass from the main quarry to the down sidings.
