I will be moving the short wall on the platform or removing it, It looks like it will damage the paving so i have orded some

I also do not the the station building so that will be going Now hwat type should i replace it with

When Nick got the layout ther was a signalbox were the gray rectangal is on the basebord jount is now all the points have leavers next to them so to me ther is no need for a signalbox

I also need to make a new door for the engine shed as it only has one

Looking good.

 

If I had not sold it to Nick at our Stafford 2014 Exhibition I had considered to have a second go at extending the layout at some stage in the future.

 

Mozzer is doing a great job and I look forward to seeing it again when it's exhibited.

 

You never know it may appear at a second Stafford exhibition, this time as a layout.

Not at this stage, as I am no longer the exhibition manager for Stafford 20+ Years was enough

 

I will however pass on the layout details, so expect a visit at a exhibition near you by Colin Hill.

 

Regards

I have also been writing a brief history of the railway Let me know what you think of it

 

Botham Hall

Botham is the last station on a Narrow Gauge rail in the Pennines hills on the Yorkshire side

Built to take farm products down to the standard gauge railway from the Botham Hall farm estate started by the current Lord Kimmage father in 1893 .

At 1st the railway ran with just 2 0-6-0 loco supplied by Hunslet of Leeds the railway still uses one of these loco today.

The railway need more locos by 1914 but nothing was available till after WW1 & as the then lords Son had just return from France & been a officer with in the WDLR & like the look of there locos He got his father to buy some of the Surplus rolling stock .

 

The railway prospered with the extra locos & stock At the start there was no passenger trains but as the line grew lord noticed that the locals walked the line down to the main line (as a Yorkshire man know he could make some money) so from 1916 started running a passenger train along his line so using coaches built on some old bogie & 4 wheel wagon chassis, 1964 the Son now the new lord purchased from Europe some extra 4 wheel coaches from the same sorce as the WLLR did in 1968
