  1. Goods yard scene getting closer but those trees will need a revamp. Time to plan the ID backscene I guess.
  2. Here’s the ‘driving’ mirror that overlooks the fiddle yard at home
  3. Newly arrived cottages seen alongside Lofthouse station. Three from one build in low relief. Photos show kit, build and end model. Now have Slaters plasticard finish.
  4. Latest pics following return home. The first shows the rarely opened gates at Kirtley Crossing and the other a busy moment at Kirtley Bridge station - Jinty #7471 seen departing with branch passenger and 4F #4197 sorting a train of goods vans.
  5. Here’s a cab view of Dalehead to Hebden Beck Quarry Courtesy of Mark Whitehead - an enthusiastic visitor to the show in York.
  6. Thanks for comments. Yes it is pretty heavy especially as l get older 😟. Here’s the business end of exhibiting - three crates and various boxes.
  7. Kirtley Bridge on the road again. This time at York over Easter bank holiday.
  8. View across the garage showing Hebden Beck quarry in the foreground, Ramsgill viaduct and Lofthouse reservoir in the background.
  9. Here’s where I’ve got to at present with Lofthouse. Most of the baseboards are now re-wired with tortoises, servos and electromagnets - and a DCC bus.
  10. Here we go heading over onto board #2 (left half of photo). This will get a bit of re-wiring as I’m reverting to Tortoise motors from the previous servos, then the scenery needs freshening up.
  11. This corner of the garage all finished
  12. New lighting in the garage brings out the reflections of the young fir trees in the reservoir surface.
  13. New (to me) stock heads towards Lofthouse past the reservoir
  14. Getting on with things again after the break...
  15. New year, new works…….
  16. The plasticard arrived so I’ve started work on the pillars and arches…..
  17. The next phase…… looking better
  18. Here’s my plan for the end curve. It’s only a mock up at present but …… real problem is getting hold of measurements for the arches and pillars, then working out how far you can go when reducing them into model form.
  19. Here's where we are with the reservoir board approaching Christmas ! - more or less complete but not quite.
  20. Here we go……. first run from Lofthouse to Kirtley Bridge https://youtu.be/zU_b4egT5M0
  21. Kirtley Bridge at Pendle show.
  22. Here is my new 'comms' set up - LED display and buzzer at the fiddle yard panel. This allows the main panel to send info to the fiddle yard panel when I have two operators. (inset shows main panel)
  23. The ‘Barlick Spud’ hey! a couple of the older members in our club (Skipton &DRS) are ex-Earby guys. Bob
