I am not sure if you are aware but parts of Craig have been uncovered and are now in the ownership of the Edinburgh and Lothians MRC and are currently with me, a club member, for safe keeping. For photos see: -https://picasaweb.google.com/112904466287746079405/MoreOfPDHancockSCraig# Malcolm

Tony The layout has now been moved from the E&LMRC clubrooms and now 'resides' with myself. Evaluation of what will be required to return this layout to something approaching its former glory is now in hand. I fully agree with you this is more like preservation and restoration than railway modelling and I feel I should be consulting museum conservation staff rather than fellow railway modellers. Fortunately what we have to hand is, for its age, in surprisingly good and original condition so not too many decisions are required as to what should be kept and repaired and what might need replacing and so on. Where possible repairs will be undertaken using methods and materials familiar to the creator and in this respect we have magazine articles, a PECO booklet and PDH's book, Narrow Gauge Adventure, to assist us not to mention the many colour slides dating from 1979. Progress reports will be posted from time to time Malcolm
