March 2019 progress
I had a big modelling hiatus between January and March, caused by breaking an ankle and not being able to get up to the loft. I had the excitement of Ventnor West appearing in the Railway Modeller March issue, but had to pull out of the Stafford exhibition. Still, we are booked for November at Tolworth with Ventnor West and Merstone.
Meanwhile, I have been building rolling stock for both layouts, and an engine shed for Newport. Now I am able to get back in the loft I will be able to resume on "Medina Wharf" (inverted commas because it is not an accurate model of the real thing at all) and get that into an operational state. Most of the track is layed but not wired.
The engine shed is built from my own CADs which were laser cut for me by Julie at York Modelmaking, for whom I have nothing but praise. I am currently working on the CADS for the row of eight terraced house backs which overlook Cowes Station from Granville Road. More on these as the project unfolds!
Here are pictures illustrating the latest progress. Note how many more coaches there are now on the layout! I think I am up to 14.
