Good Evening I bought some of the original models off Jonathan and this is the final wagons finished as close as we could get them by a friend. Thanks Jon, I now have eight more to make from scratch

Good Evening everybody Its been a long time since I posted but another area of the layout starts to take shape with the arrival of a scratch built good depot from the 90's. I am unashamed to say my inspiration for the building and the eventual cement works is the fantastic layout Farkham which with the stock and buildings is a wonderful layout. So here we go it gives you some idea of this area which sits on top of the helix to hide it. Enjoy Nik

Good Evening Small update tonight. Bit more scenic work done tonight and the two wall pieces put in position. Further work on the office block will be next and some detail work to the front of the shed around the storage tanks. Enjoy Nik

fully understand thanks for answering Nik

Hi Dave Is that only locos or rolling stock also? Nik

Good Evening everyone Small update, this week saw the arrival of a few bits from Peter Leyland (aka. Gravy Train). Again words cannot describe the level of detail he produces and this replica of the office block belonging to Wigan Springs Branch Depot an excellent replica. Also two walls produced which belong to the old steam shed and the back wall even with the No Parking writing on it. I just need to do the surrounding scenery to do justice to this. If anyone has any photos of this area can you pm me or please post them on this post? thanks Nik

Looking good Mick What was the base for this and the ends? Was it a Heljan cargo wagon? Nik

No problem I got them from traintronics at bournemouth, not cheap but they are strong and look excellent Nik

This is a video that a friend produced that can be found on the Whiterose Models website (baseboard production which I used) Regards Nik

Now for some small layout improvements I ordered some bespoke signal gantries for the layout which have arrived and after much colorful words I managed to work out how to wire them out. So here are some pics of prior and post fitting. I think they have made a great improvement. Let me know what you think Nik

Evening All i haven't posted for a long time due to work etc.... So here we are these are a few shots of stock and locos on the layout More will follow Nik
