I used to live in Dalmellington near Ayr and I loved nothing better than getting a Mancini's ice cream at Newton-on-Ayr, driving down to the Newton shore, and watching the goings-on at Falkland Yard. As an aside, my father was an NCB Dispatch Clerk at Waterside on the Ayr-Dalmellington branch and, in the 30 or so years he worked there, must have sent a good few thousand tons of coal down to Ayr Harbour! Look forward to seeing the progress on this layout!
