Latest developments on the line, the Station Inn is starting to take shape, the fencing is being painted and signs hung, and another track panel has been made up, not much further to go now then a good old tidy up is needed.

Near on two years to the day between the 3 photos, I can happily say some good progress.

Hi all, I'm tinkering away with the new extention and have ordered more rail to finish the line, one thing I wanted was a light over the shed road for those night time steam ups, it looks quite neat don't you think?

Hi all, it's been a while, anyway things are still progressing on the line, today sees the first coat of white paint on a new lineside sign and I've also nearly got all the bricklaying done on the steam bay, photos of that to come.

A nice unspoilt winters scene in the yard, will soon be ready for a Xmas steam up.

Progress over the last year has gone quite well, first photo June 2021 last photo today, still lots to do, signalbox/workshop extention, point rodding, signals, small bridge, outside bar/BBQ area and more plants, both neighbours are putting new fencing in next year so we may gain space for another siding, I would love to go beyond the workshop into the open field/allotment out the back, only time will tell if that is possible.
