That's a very nice railroad you have there, Kim. I know you enjoy it.

Kim,

Great layout!  I love all the detail.  What type of power are you running?

Hi guys, sorry about the delay in posting promised pics, I've been busy installing storm drains and had to pull some track up. Anyway, all back together now and it's a lovely sunny Saturday in good old Blackpool.

The first pic is looking up the spurs towards the main

The main has 3 passing loops, the town goes on the right by the yard loco spur

the 1st loop

the 2nd loop

and the 3rd

back down to the house on a long straight

and back up to where we started

 A few loco's out later I think and off to a mates tomorrow for an open day. I'll snap what's going on there and post tomorrow night.

Cheers,

Kim

I love the way you've done the yard. You could consider it a layout in itself. It's a great timesaver.

Hi Kim

Looks good.

After seeing tonights TV news you might want to think about ordering some "G" scale boats for the towns folk.

Hope your OK they where a bit vague about who was flooded out.

regards John

Hi Robert, I'll do a photo one tomorrow from point to point - I don't mean switch to switch!! I have no idea how to do track plans on the pc and my scanner has gone to a computer graveyard.

Cheers,

Very nice work. Do you have an overall track plan? I'd love to see it.

Hi guys,

Bought myself an aristo switch yesterday before the price hike on the 1st August. The RR now has 5 each of LGB radius 5 and aristo 10' switches, which gives me 3 passing loops on the main and plenty of storage in the yard.

Here's a shot of the yard area with loco servicing area

plenty of track space

the work train crew need the right tools

last shot, just before I put it all away as the rain's starting!

Didn't even get to run atrain, never mind, got the whole week off work so I'm sure I will.

Cheers,

Kim
