[markh]

Well been another slow work on the layout, with some changes being made

I have lifted the depot up & removed the last inspection pit, and all the hard standing, I have cleaned the track up, I also found another set of points in the shed & been able to work in another siding

I now need some fish plates & refit the hard standing & level the track up


Photos will be uploaded when the yards done

Well thought id do a update,
the whole layout has been given a new modern look, new ballast and depot area, new station building, and lights, ive since tore the road up and platform to rebuild them (that was over 1 year ago)

in april 2015 Balsa Rd attended Maryport MRE

My new DRS 37 made a good effort of running considering it was lauchned off the layout and both bogies flew out

did get the attention of a Dalek


Ill post more photos soon
