I have re-jigged my room, it is now on permanent display and ready to be operated - well I hope so.
Lots to be done on the second board yet,

Still lots of work to do.
Scenery and another train with skip trucks.
The excavator is somewhat temperamental, now who could that be modelled on, oh yes, me!

How long will the "permanent display" last?

Some pieces of rolling stock and a steam loco under construction.
Just been undercoated - between digging up potatoes!

Scratch built or from kits?

They are kits from the same range as the V skips I built earlier - Smallbrook Studios - resin with metal parts for wheels and so on.

I made the excavator so it could be removed for applying the scenic work/ transportation.
It simply plugs into a hole and the electrics.

A small mini diorama added by the front point lever.
Due to the inclement weather the manager has decided to build a shed for the man on duty at the point.
Bricks were cast from plaster and pre-coloured.
