A few more pictures from Perth Green. 

First appearance of a loco in Platform 1 for ages.

An Acrewood bound service trundles past the abandoned brake van on the disconnected siding behind Moggs Eye box.

Another Acrewood bound DMU passing platform 1's starter signals. Something in the sea air Up North added so boost to my signals; number 7 (showing clear for the branchline) doesn't usually get up so high! 43 was the same and I have no idea why.

Here is the evidence of the reinvigorated signal 43 doing its thing. 

Despite sickness meaning I was short-handed for Perth Green, I had a very good weekend up there. The layout behaved itself, the club were perfect hosts and we were in excellent company layout-wise. 

My next outing is to the GCR in June with Emsworth, but my main effort presently is finishing Holland Beck. 

As Cottleston is still getting invitations it will be having a general refresh later in the year.

I've been following this layout topic for a while and I must say it's superb ! Love the semaphore signalling and the overgrown and rationalised trackwork. It's come a long way from the original version I remember reading about in Model Rail magazine way back in 2010! Keep up the good work! 

 

Regards

Lewis

Look forward to another update, will it be appearing at any shows in 2020?

Hi, Simon,

Cottleston's only 2020 exhibition, so far, will be at the GCR event at Quorn and Woodhouse Station in June.

Cheers,

Ben.

HI Neil,

I'm good thanks

I was just about to get Cottleston out from under the dust sheets and get it prepared for Redcar in August, but they have just cancelled - though it was to be expected. They have asked me to go back in 2021, which is something to look forward to.

Cheers,

Ben.
