Re: North Avenue Line
the track has been pined down with copper pins and joints cleaned and tested.the railway is mounted on scaffold boards rased off the ground. iv got a few more lights to install the same as the one behind the man reading the paper on the pallets. I will also put lights in the signal box.

Re: North Avenue Line
all the names on the line are based on real places .bartlow south .is a reference to bartlow a small village near castle camps where I grew up it had a railway running threw it but sadly not anymore. south deans is from the caravan park where my mum and dad used to holiday in great Yarmouth .the MXP part of the gas works is from one of the company's on the business park where I do a lot of work although they are nothing to do with gas I just liked the look of the MXP lettering
Re: North Avenue Line
Excellent industrial line Jim. Love the lights by the way, very cool.
