    Well I work in radio, but that call sign is Mike Two November Hotel.

    No, it’s Northern Bridge 3D Models.

    A tunnel mouth at the other end would look good.

    The layout is looking good Ron with the extra ground coverings. :thumbs:

    The railways normally clear hills and/or make cuttings. Your engineers have put the whole hillside back ! :avatar::avatar:

    Looking good Ron, keep up the great work and throw a little Southern on board... ;)

    Cheers, Gary.

    Really impressed with the additions to the layout Ron
    One of most creative additions is the extra storage above the tunnel really looks the part and is super useful what you lost from storage on the original layout before modifying has been gained back very creatively.
    Have enjoyed watching the changes occurs :thumbs::tophat::thumbs::tophat::thumbs::tophat:
