It was really good to get the chance to see the layout 'in the flesh' . I have been following it on here for a long time as I have a 00 layout in the very early stages of construction based on Green Ayre' I have started it and dismantled it twice - once in the attic but decided I didn't have enough room and then in the barn but it was too dusty and the odd young starling that managed to get in caused chaos ! I am at the moment plasterboarding the walls .of the barn to try to reduce the dust . Maybe third time lucky ! My grandparents lived in Lancaster throughout the 1950's and we used to get the train from Green Ayre to Morecambe almost every weekend. The layout is excellent and looks like I remember Green Ayre station and the surrounding area .

We too used the line a lot during the late 40's / early 50's and like Edward I remember it being light wood but don't remember drilled seats . My impressions are of solid wooden slats but it is a long time ago !
