</tbody></table>Well recently i have been looking at the layout and something was never quite right with it and i wasn't happy with how the track flowed thru the Landscape as i had built it so all the track has been lifted and i have decided that My 09 layout adventures will come to a halt fo the time being to allow me to further other projects and Research a Much more suitable location for the layout.<br />

It is highly likely that this will re emerge as Dalegarth station on the Ravenglass and Eskdale railway as it is now. offering me a fixed prototype and feeding my interest in Lal ratty it will be a challenging scene to recreate and will be a very big layout but the thoughts of DCC sound fitted models of River Mite,Esk and NORTHERN ROCK is something very much want to turn my hand to.
