09FBCAE4-83A2-4AED-8F93-FB0DDF26265F.jpeg I’ve decided to move the layout to the opposite side of the room, it wasn’t a good idea to block off the windows and made day time photography very difficult. This also allows me to have an additional 2’ in front of the shed for extra loco storage plus some inspection pits and a few more buildings.

Ive had this little Loco stored away in a shop for a few months but finally managed to collect it yesterday.

Yes, welcome back, Steve. I am still out there, “lost in translation”! Been 6 months since a train ran past Moor Street, but the timetable could resume in September.

And then there was 2! I did a deal with my dad and he got me 1405 and he got Glorious ( class 50 ).
I’m thinking about starting over with the shed project using laser cut baseboards as they will be light weight and easier to store / transport, It will mean redoing all the track work and ground cover but that’s the part I enjoy the most any way.C6FEB00A-4A0E-4137-8354-E58508C974D2.jpeg
Thanks for the kind words everyone it’s good to be getting back in to things
