Looks to flow very nicely. Are both roads through it slightly curved or is that a photographic illusion? If they do, that's obviously only possible with hand made track. Marvellous.

Thanks Dave -

yes - both routes are curved... that made it an interesting challenge in Templot. Fortunately the program is powerful enough to do most of the work these days, I would have struggled otherwise! I did cheat slightly by leaving the last few chairs at the far end loose, so that everything could be lined up with the two approach roads.

Regards
Tony

69808 shunts a milk tank at Basford North. The tank kit came from the estate of the late DLOS - he preffered the grouping era and pristine rolling stock and I'm sure he would have built it fully lettered 30s style. By the '60s they were rather grubby and had plates instead. David would not have approved at all, but I'm sure he would have been faintly amused.... So it will always remind me of his friendship.IMG_4748.JPG
