Really great progress on the layout since your MRJ article. Regarding the coaling plant operation, people will be drawn to its operation and as you would expect they will want it to work properly. The Camden plant is similar but does not 'face' the viewing side of my layout. Regardless I am separating the hoist system from the main structure and powering it from below the baseboard for smooth realistic operation. PS your Carnforth photos answer a lot of questions, and thanks for the MRJ tip regarding York Model Making, huge help, just got to get the plans for the shed now !!

Hi Robin,
Really great progress on the layout since your MRJ article. Regarding the coaling plant operation, people will be drawn to its operation and as you would expect they will want it to work properly.
