So, it has been just over a year since my last update. The reason for this is that we have been preoccupied with our move into our new house which finally happened in March this year. Since then we have been busy sorting things out with the house and doing loads of gardening. As the winter is approaching my thoughts are once again turning towards building a model railway. I am continuing to carry out research and build up ideas and plans in my head and I will be setting out my current thinking under the New Layout section.
