A few minor things done around the layout. Household Authorities wanted Christmas lights up in the street? IMG_3188.JPG A broken point at the engine shed has been replaced with a three way point. IMG_3187.JPG Some forklift trucks have been acquired. Suitable placement to be found. Photos later. Glen...

The only saving grace (if there is one) at a recent model show my granddaughter bought me (with my money?) ...

After the first running session, I found this layout boring. Another false start I guess... :oops: A little 'food for thought ' for you, Montfort.
