This update covers work carried out since my last entry. The lift out board has been tweaked to ensure it slots into the layout by the shed door. I have replaced the over catches with a more robust set to ensure the board locks firmly into position.

Black card strips have been laid in preparation for the final lengths of track to complete the UP and DOWN main lines.

The second pair of ' King turnouts' for access to the Up and Down Storage sidings and the Second Crossover are now in position.

Slots in ten boards have been routed out to position and fix NCE connectors.

I have obtained a secondhand 60ft turntable which is shown in the corner of the UP yard. This will be used to turn locos returning from 'Up North' anywhere on the Bristol - Newcastle line.

My second Bachmann Peak D41 has been converted to run on a Rumney Models chassis - excellent job Justin many thanks.

Hi Tim, John obviously knows the origin of the turntable but for your benefit it is the original table from the Glevum group layout 'Brinkley' which I purchased recently as a backup for the roundhouse. To let you into a secret I have just received a test etch from John Redrup of the 60ft Cowans Sheldon turntable for the shed. Hopefully I can make a start on it shortly.
