    Hi Ian,

    Cheers

    Ever onwards and upwards... ? ... anyway a small amount of progress today I've completed some more scenic work. The point control wire has now got a handle in the form of a straw bin in the horse paddock when it's all dry I'll detail the worn grass around it and the pond. Still waiting for my new backscene to arrive which will give it depth I think... wow layouts almost 50% complete. (sorry about the sideways picture)

    That's not a fair photo Ian, blue sky and sunshine! Both of which are in very short supply here at the moment!!! Layout's looking good though!:)

    Cheers

    And finally... once the track is tested it just awaits my new back scene and I can move on to the other half of the layout.

    looking great Ian,
    Do you have enough room to get a loco past a wagon in the coopers siding? It looks pretty squeezy.
    Nice ballasting and track dirtying BTW.

    Thanks for the encouragement Toto/Marty yes it is a bit tight but I tested it with my J72 and 27XX and it just works. Due to the requirement to have a double storage track behind Coopers I was down to mm (the whole width of the layout just over 24cm) but then I figured if they can get 70cl in a narrow bottle of tinto then .....!
