Nice, but would it be even better if the backscene was as high as the tallest building or tree? I suspect on whether the layout is operated from the front or back and what sort of point operation and couplins you use.

Hi Alan , the backscene is actually for the o gauge layout underneath, I’d like to get a simple tree line or costal themed one , points are Manuel and couplings are all auto .

Just caught up with your thread. What a great layout, and it's coming together very swiftly, too! The water is particularly convincing.

Looking forward to seeing your next instalment.

Cheers,

Hi,

I was wondering too....

Not sure Alan can comment on the happenings at Saxthorpe quay , but I've a hunch things are still just plodding along quietly the hum of fishing boats and the hiss of small elderly steam locomotives filling the air .

In reality the layout got so far and I found the main point failed which meant some rewiring, but unfortunately I then got distracted with building a layout 10 times its size . However it still is packed away in the shed so it may make a reapreance at some point . But now my interests have taken a more western theme ,

That's a rather lovely saddle tank! May I ask whence it came?
