Plans are advancing on a replacement layout. It is c28ft long x 2ft 6in wide (to fit in the small local exhibition hall we have used for some years), to have a through mainline with station with local freight yard and wagon works. The main trackwork is laid, points all operating and work is ongoing with the scenery. Intended to be portable but we will need younger members if it is ever to leave the upstairs floor. It is be DC and DCC - something we already do for several smaller scale layouts. So, if you are interested, or know others whom may be, please let me know and it will be easy to arrange for you to come to the club rooms.
