westerner Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 My goodness Cley has grown somewhat since I last drove through it a few weeks ago. Then it was a sleepy very small village some distance from the sea with the River Glaven just drdged and reopened up to Cley for the first time for may a year. Of course in Roman times it would have been right on the coast ( or under it) as the village of Wiveton (a mile in land of Cley) was a major port for many centuries until the river began to slit up. I'm wondering what made Cley grow into such a substantial town? 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering what made Cley grow into such a substantial town? You have hit the nail on the head there, I've surmised that the graven didn't silt up and Cley grew into a substantial port with the mainline continuing from Norwich, there is also a route to Lynn which crosses the Glaven on a swing bridge at Glandford and then to Wiveton. It has also become a major holiday resort and there will be summer Saturdays extras from the Midlands and the north I'm glad it never happened in real life as I would imagine massive decline would have set in after the period modelled As a local resident I prefer it as it is! 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold russ p Posted January 1, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 1, 2020 A bit more progress today installed street lights on the terrace of houses, they are those cheap Chinese ones sprayed in sand effect paint, they aren't the greatest but closest thing you can get to cast concrete 50s lamps. Also put more static grass down and fencing. I'm dreading doing the rear board as that is all countryside with a campsite and I've realised static grass doesn't go that far and is quite expensive 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold russ p Posted January 15, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 15, 2020 Slowly working my way down the main board. I've built a yard where coaches congregate after dropping day trippers off at the sea front where the drivers can go in the cafe I've also done a petrol station using a metcalfe kit I built years ago one of a few card buildings on the layout. As can be seen the track in the yard has yet to be painted and ballasted. Once the layout is completed I will then get round to weathering Road vehicles. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
