  10. Hi all I hadn’t realised that I haven’t updated for so long, but there hasn’t been much to report, there’s been a few new purchases. Then this week I have decided to make one of the fiddle yards slightly wider to allow more variety of stock running on the main line, with doing this it’s allowed me to basically put a full width board in so I can now extend the scenery by another 5ft. My plan is to extend the two sidings with the overhead wires on and to extend the head shunt at the side of the shed to allow locos to enter the shed from the other side. I’ll get some photos when I move on from a bear board, I’ve got about 5 weeks to complete as the layout is at Preston exhibition first weekend in March Andrew
