Lots more details added Dornaplas groinf levers and I added some rodding on the 3 way A Woking still forklift Some faller bins Also stock wise is a translator coach and 47033 is fitting in nicely Next to arrive is a loco I have been after for a while A large logo 56, currently being sound fitted and weathered and renumbered. Excited about this addition.

Hi mateThe split level is to keep the paying public at shows entertains while I'm chatting haha I'm always conscious of something moving and given that this is our show layout advertising our business we get a lot of people chatting to us which is superb. The shuttle system is perfect to keep something rolling at all times and it's simple to change stock too.

Could of update pics including a new visitor to the yard in 47033 Looks awesome

I do remember, so pleased it's still hardworking Thank youI do have an obsession with them but some do need to go Yeah MartinPop them in we will sort them out

Just a few pictures of the depot which is nearly complete and some of the 08s that have been growing in force I have decided to cull a few as i have to many now that some don't really get a run out these days Lots more details to add on the layout with fence panels around the fuel tank area and trees to go in the right corner Really looking forward to taking this out next year Another show booked also Stamford may 6th 2017

Cheers Anthony that would be superb to see you mate and have a catch up

Hi Peter Thank you for the kind words, i do love a bit of RF livery The shop is doing well so far, its early days as we have only been open 7 months but its something i am enjoying so much

Thanks VulcanIt really does look great and the sound is superb.

Hi mate It's all wired in, just need to glue it all back in and take some pics tomorrow

Thank you Look forward to seeing you there

The retaining walls have now been completed by James and the look superb I have added some greenery to break up the brick work and I am totally pleased with how it looks. I picked a walthers air con and vent kit up recently and thought they would be a great detail to add to the buildings and depot walls. Easy to build and once sprayed and weathered they look really cool, the hardest thing to do is decide we're to put them Now it's all the fine details to add which always takes s little longer I have also had my Bachmann 25 rebooted by our inhouse weathering and sound fit guy who has given it a much better weathered look as opposed to the factory job and added a SWD sound decoder It looks and sounds superb

Thanks class66 Today sees a bit more work on the layout with the rest of the retaining wall and more details being addded. The kadee magnets are fitted on the front two sidings so I can do a little shunting on the wagon works but I need to get some practice in on these. I'm only going to fit the kadees to the 08s and 20s as the large locos won't fit into the sidings with wagons and wouldn't really shunt the yard this small.

Awesome news and very well deserved indeed can't wait to see this on the big stage

With the rear middle factory section fitted I thought i would grass and finish that section with statics and fit the coils and junk around the dumped shunter Looks pretty well rundown More pipes n air cons n vents to add tomorrow.

Hi I got the coils last weekend at a show, they were unbranded in a box but I believe they were meant to be for a 7mm wagon load but seemed to fit nicely I think they work really well.

Cheers mate, your work to remember!That good you said it twice haha

James has been over and fitted the middle steel works section and the retaining wall behind the fuel point They look superb and will have the pipework etc added this week The fiddle yard is also wired and running lovely

Hi Alex Great to hear from you. I'd love a RF grid That would be superb

Cheers Sam

The main front panels have been glossed and fitted back on the boards So pleased with these, just some logos to be added Also some shameless advertising tools used to advertise our business Little layout billboard just needs painting and weathering

Excellent, hopefully get to do a few shows together next year then. We are in the process of securing the venue for The Little Layout Company Show so some details coming your way soon.

Thanks mate, what shows are you doing next year??

Haha that will be it haha Look forward to seeing you there

A bit more work done this week with the signage and doors fitted to the depot building and a few workers have been caught .... working?? Also the old works shunter has finally retired and dumped out the back siding to rot. Replacement 08 gronk being its replacement.
