First of all thanks for the kind words since my last post. Lovely to read.

More lights, now worked how to get them hooked up to my Gaugemaster controller so rewired a few bits here and there. Got some basic interiors done for the low level station with accompanying bridge.

Recent selling of my old Lima and Hornby have enabled me to get Bachmann 47s and a 90 to add to the fleet. Improve running and aesthetic look too no ends.

Happy modelling!

Think I've got the bug now, gone from strictly no lights to this after receiving a delivery from Kytes Lights. Pain though due to the thin wiring, but got there in the end!

Great pictures - the lighting makes it look cold and wintery.

More lights, this time taller yard lights, a couple of security ones, one fitted to the Bachmann fuel point and finally another street light. Got a buffer stop done too, amazing how good they affect the scene.

Definitely recommend them to other modellers.

Happy New Year!

Great pictures - I agree lighting can change the layout completely.

Spectacular and exquisite photography. No name yet? May I say, something this good deserves a name.

A layout is never complete so it goes, well I've decided to change mine midway, if midway is ever achievable ha!

Decided for better running purposes from upper to lower to introduce a 2nd connection in the opposite way so can now have running without reversal.

The upper through station has now moved to the side so a nice long island platform and not fully curved.

Going to create the existing head shunt lower as the entrance to 2 goods loops too for more running.

Just a few pics of slight changes for now.

Happy modelling

Good progress there. Love those Hornby class 29 locos. They are geared low so are lovely smooth runners.
