Since 2009 some further progress has been made. Ian Spalding kindly produced a Templot track layout, which Dave Hewett and Pete Bettany printed out for me.The Templot provided the impetus I needed to get on with construction of turnouts and plain track. All four scenic boards have now been built and all the track for them is now laid. A fiddle yard will be required, of course, but this is low on the list at the moment. The top priority wiring. I shall then start on the control panel with a view to getting something running before too long. Steve Ridgway is building the control box. All signals, including 8 ground signals, are completed and the servos, that will power them, have been purchased.  A number of further buildings are under construction as is more stock. Still loads to do!
