Well, this is my first blog! My railway has grown rapidly recently, moving from inside to an outside shed to allow the expansion and space for loops. My stock currently consists of a 158, 142 (on loan to York Central Depot), 47, 08 shunter and a loan 66. Arriving soon will be a class153 and the purchase list for future includes the 144, a 156, HST and a 66. Currently a lot of the layout is work in progress with lots left to be done, currently only one corner as shown on this video is complete. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tj962AZB7E0 I have just attempted to lay ballast on a section this evening, which has resulted in a mini disaster which I shall remedy shortly. Short term works include the installation of the point work to the sidings and engineering depot, replacement of some damaged rails and points and the installation of platforms and station buildings at the new station. Also to be done is the landscaping of the towns around the railway.

Having seen some other"Real-Track" rolling stock it seems to be of a very good quality, the model seems to be very detailed and I do really like the Northern Livery, so one in the Northern livery will certainly be on my wish list!!
