Cheers, theres still more L&B on the way.

Ben, you are welcome to come play whenever you find yourself up in the midlands ;)
If it can be made full scale it can be made 16mm

Very nice Matt.

I really like the way that your station area is developing and establishing. It's beginning to look really well established now. The middle of the loop looks like a very nice place to sit and watch the trains go by now - well done!

Thanks for the encouragement! i'm happy with the way its developing slowly.

As you say, the area within the loop is a wonderful place to sit, sun throught most of the day and a great view of the trains as they work their way around the line. Also provides a nice bit of child free garden ;)

With a solihull group steam up looming (this saturday for anyone interested) I'll be pulling out the removeable sidings tonight to check everything still aligns and possibly look into a little bit of detailing to fit on there.

Slowly?!! That must make progress on my line positively glacial by comparison!

Your line's looking great - enjoy your steam up!

Ditto Andrew. In fact I seem to be going backwards compared to Matt! I've manage to clear a fairly major 12" to the foot track design job off the table today and rolled out the garden plans again. If I can get back home at a reasonable time tomorrow I'll crack on with some more landscaping - little by little railway construction is coming closer, all the more reason to finalise the track layout now!

Matt,

I wish I could make it on Saturday but I'm off for a short week signalling on the Bluebell I'm afraid. At some point in the not too distant future the chance WILL come for me to get across to have a look at your handiwork in the flesh.

All the best,

Andrew
