Well as the old thread contains information about the old layout I thought I'd better let it drift away as the new layout has been started, lets carry on form where I left of so here are the pics of current progress,

and the gronk,

Kindest Regards

BR the space where all the tools are will that have track on it would make a great sunting yard with casettes to move locos to the yard & visa versa

Well Simon I'm thinking of adding another one or two lines to the layout so yes there probably will be.

Kindest Regards

You could go for a double-Z?

Wonder how that would work......perhaps you could show us!

I've got a Smokey Joe shunter so I've just had the body off ready to have a new one rebuilt! I'm looking to build a body like a Hunslet.

Hi guys, the double z is now completed so the trackwork is finished, the next task is to get the layout wired up.

Heres another shot of 'mi gronk,

A lightly weathered Hymek awaiting detailing, shes half way there as I've fitted 3 links to her.

This is the chassis I shall be using to make my Hunslet shunter,

Comments and critiscm more than welcome,

Hi guys, I've just bought 58 001 of eBay (Hornby) for Â£20.00, I think that's a bargain, I'm going to weather her into a worked and faded loco when she arrives.

Kindest Regards,

Rhys
