Right here is my photos of the progress so far.
baseboard wiring.
A look down the yard.
A birds eye view.
my donated lenz controller & the special detacable control holder.
Another birds eye view the other way.
A View from the front.
Still got to build another wall for the cutting into the fiddle siding but i think its looking fairly good for a 4 x 1 challenge.

Ballast is down on mine & a pikestuff single road depot is being ordered in the morning to say i started my layout just over a week ago its coming along very well nothing yet has gone wrong well happy i think its going to have EWS locos on the layout too as i am finding it very very hard to turn down a class 66.
