    Hi Ian,

    No worries. It looks like there is a plan of action. Mind the video of it all working when you get to that stage. I'm looking forward to seeing it all come together.

    Cheers for now.

    I found (was granted) a small interlude in my (other 5/8ths) schedule so managed to paint the track/points ready for fixing to layout when I (she gives me) find a moment.

    I think the track plan looks like it will work well with your scenic style looking forward to seeing the scene evolve.

    Nice, the Workshop (Goods Shed) fits in really well with all the track down :thumbup:

    Are you going to ballast or in-fill the track with something Ian
