    Looking for a name for my NG layout. I searched Google Earth and found Cwmbach which is next to Cwmbach Woods for my wood based layout. All photo's and updates will now be on this thread.

    The wood depot has had some more work done and a bit of weathering on the floor.
    Waiting for girder for a hoist!

    Cheers, Gary.

    I like ballasting, find it very therapeutic. Important thing is to get the right size. I always found N best for OO and OO best for O.

    Ballasting done (and hoovered!), Warehouse kit has just arrived so that's the next project.

    (Not sure if it will be as good as this when finished!)
