Some of you may recall this layout from previous versions of RMweb. The original plan was to build one side of Kyle of Lochalsh station in 4mm scale. The Mk1 version of the layout was 8' x 2' plus fiddle yard but this became to big for the room I was working in so Mk2 was begun, recovering as much material from the previous version as possible.

Today the layout is fairly well progressed. There is still the main building to construct, detailing to be added and weathering/painting to be completed.

The layout is planned to run over several eras using the following stock :

Early 1970s - Pre-tops Blue Clayton, Pre-tops Blue 24/1, Blue/Grey Mk1s, various wagons

Mid 1970s - Tops Blue 24/1, Tops Blue 26, Blue/Grey Mk1s, various wagons

Mid 1980s - Large Logo 37s, Blue/Grey Mk1s, airbraked wagons.
