An interesting design. I'm already looking forward to July/August to see the start of your work. Mike

Thoroughly enjoyed seeing the layout on the Sunday of the show. Spent an enjoyable period of time watching the trains go by. What a masterpiece! Mike

Great to see the videos, they show off the work you have done nicely. Mike

Thoroughly enjoyed that fourth video thanks Andy. As has been said, it is great to see your fiddle yard in operation. Mike

Enjoyed those first three videos. Intrigued by the fourth, when it arrives!! Mike

Enjoyed the video, good to see all the work you have done in more detail. Mike

Looking forward to seeing the additional scenic work, as it progresses. The view through the Coal Road bridge looks greta. Mike

A good update and progress made. Mike

Enjoyed the video. Nice to see further progress. Mike

Will be home at the end of March, so I am now really looking forward to seeing the layout at Ally Pally. Mike

Like the work you have done with the viaduct. That said the coach improvement is pretty good too. Mike

As others have said, get well soon Andy. Mike

Spent a bit of time at home over the Christmas and New Year holiday. I did manage a brief amount of time working on the layout. Completed some more of the wiring and constructed the Metcalfe underpass kit for Walnut Grove station. No pictures as I only finished it shortly before having to leave home until the end of February. I did manage to give some of the track a clean and run a Class 105 DMU round part of the layout. This highlighted where some of the wiring still needs to be sorted. However, once that is done, I will record a video and post, but not yet! Happy New Year to everyone. Mike

Hope so! Happy Christmas to you too. Mike

A happy Christmas to you too. Thanks for the wonderful photos this year and the inspirational stories of a bygone era that fill this tread with so much valuable information. Mike

Looks a interesting project. One I will be watching, even if progress is slow and steady. Mike

Very impressed with this layout. I for one will be keeping an eye on it in the future. Mike

The latest progress is looking very good. Mike

Enjoyed those videos. Mike

This is something I need to do, always good to learn from others experiences! I must admit, I do prefer the look of your DIY version more than the other two. Mike

Just spent a very enjoyable time reading through the thread. I like what you have done with the layout. Simple, yet very effective. Mike

Looks interesting. I will keep my eye on your progress, purely for inspiration, of course! Mike

I have to say that the river does look a lot better. Mike

That last photo looks very atmospheric and that is without the paint and weathering! Mike

I will be keeping an eye on proceedings, as I am interested in the work you are having done. Mike
