Thanks guys , the latest addition to the layout is narrow gauge , story is .. the preservation guys have taken over the disused bay platform of the main station and built new platforms , and are re routing the line towards the castle . It is to be a tourist line . Photos to follow …

the shed/turntable for the small gauge loco's will be on this part of the layout - next to the British Railways loco shed ,

.
the adjacent quary is also 00-9 (4mm to ft scale) , the optical illusion of the track Peco 00-9 and Peco/Kato N scale gives the impresion of differant gauge
due to sleeper spacing .

the small gauge tourist line platform is shown below , and will be afixed once the track to the loco shed and incline have been fixed and ballasted .

the incline idea was to use a 'inverted' helix , but the climb was to steep for the loco's , so a revised track plan was adopted and used larger radious curves ...

Love a punch of color in an urban scene, and nothing does it as well as flowered plants!

It looks a really tidy and functional layout, and the scenery looks great especially the rock face at the town.

thanks guys for the kind words , started adding shrub around the quary - but not happy with the quarry itself so will do some homework ...

no photo's but to-day was messy , plaster casting rock face using Woodland rubber mould's
first attempt was with painter/decorator powder filler and white glue/water mix , took few hour's
to dry enough for splitting the mould . Second try was with casting plaster from LHS , mix with
water and dry enough to separate after about a hour . will do more to-morrow .
