It was my birthday this week and my fiancee treated me to a day out on the Severn Valley Railway and a new addition! Can't wait to get it on the layout!

 

My new GWR Class 57

A couple of shots from tonight. I've wired in a double signal tonight which will serve Platforms 2 and 3. I've also given the new GWR Class 57 a run - I can't wait to get some coaches for it!

 

Shots of the new signals in action!

Firstly, my bus garage is now finally on the layout. I'm rather happy with it.

I've also added some fencing to my construction site

Very nice! Where's the construction site fencing from?

 

I made it myself. Did the design on Microsoft Powerpoint, printed it off and mounted it on to card. I then placed matchsticks on the back to make them look a little more realistic.

The bus depot is amazing and your photographs of the locos are top notch. Such great detail.  Well done.

 

Thanks! I really enjoyed doing the bus depot, the scalescenes kit is excellent in my opinion.

Here's some of the photos which I had forgotten to upload before the club closed for Christmas

 

I managed to get quite a large amount ballasted at the end of last year, with three out of the four platforms now ballasted.

I've got quite a few plans for 2018, which I will be sharing with you soon!

I've started work on the back of the layout. I really wanted a long sweeping curve, as the front is rather busy anyway. I've also started work on a TMD for the layout

I also gave the 57s a good run out on the layout this evening

Work has continued on the hillside. It's really starting to take shape now

I've also acquired some laser cut catenary kits. I'm very impressed with them

And finally some pictures of 66 416 with its rake of HIAs

Hello I have just been looking at some of your photos and admiring your ballast and the cable trenches (if that's the right terminology).  How did you make the cable trenches lineside as they look really good.  Also is the ballast in the gap between the two railway lines (the 4 foot) raised/piled slightly higher?
