Saxthorpe quay

[Clan Mcadder]

here lies the tale of the fishing town on the east coast of England in a 20ish year time span 1923-1947.

Saxthorpe quay is part of the small dockside branch that leads from the terminus at Saxthorpe and winds its way along the sea wall ,

for about a mile before it reaches the buffer stops .

its main traffic flows are fish, fruit and timber .

from time too time larger locomotives can be seen using the water crane , waiting for the express freights to be built up and head for the large cities .

so enough waffle , saxthorpe quay is a small 5,6" simple shunting layout designed to give a variety of stock a run , now my tastes are a bit strange and varied but one thats always around is Lner/lms now ive messed with these since i was small and rebelling against that colossus bore that's the LMr transition era, (sorry dad). so its Lner from around 1923-1947 with an emphasis on the last 10 years or so . please dont worry 4472 will not be appearing in this film for my 4472 has recently had a change of heart .... please ignore the backscene its destined to change . 
so i am sorry for the messy images but atm it give a quick idea as to the layout and some of the stock including some of my wagon projects . 

 

some Lms may appear too although this one has found its self along way from Stafford !

i hope these give a rough idea , id like to document it from the very start , so planning then baseboard rework and then onto track etc .

so over the past week ive made some basic progress on the quay ,

its had a first layer of pva to seal the base , so i can work on the water last without fear of it leaching etc ,

track is down now and i shall add some pictures later once ive got it all wired etc .

hopefully its starting to look like something .

well the layout has come along a little ,  i am also having some thoughts about changing some aspects maybe ?
