Progression of the quickest order


Well i have had a concerted effort to get the layout to a reasonable stage  recently as things are slowly coming along  tortoise point motors remain to be fitted  and as does the top half of the loop towards the fiddle yard  but the bottom half remains  almost complete with the board joint being  in place prior to slitting across the joints and wiring will then commence in full flow  hopefully by Christmas day I will be able to run trains on this board and across on to what is board 2 of 3 .


There has always been an aspiration to capture  something of the ravenglass and eskdale railway  in this layout and i am feeling that these photos  show that  slightly reminiscent of  beckfoot halt
Could one day we see a model of  the Powerful yet pleasing 2-8-2 "River Mite"
 or perhaps a little bit of minature railway history  with  a model of River Irt the 0-8-2 Formerly owned by the Heywood family now running in eskdale.
