    Added coal stage as facilities shared with local steam preservation line and a few other things ... track tests run after every addition and so far very satisfactory mainly due to the hidden siding under the arches (top left behind station)

    IMG20241103155553.jpg lowered the catenary and added more not prototypical at all but suggests electrification ... layout almost finished , more grass n' little folk to add (note; after damaging a pantograph I now remove them for testing etc) I also realise that the engine/repair shed wont have overhead electricity the loco's being shunted in ... before someone points it out :whatever:

    Very good.
    There was a guy at the Spalding show at the weekend who had 4 or 5 layouts in various cases.
