This weekend has allowed a good amount of time for working on the layout and projects. In hindsight, it should of been a good opportunity to simply operate the layout, as having caught some serious man-flu; coughing, headaches and tiredness meant full concentration wasn’t on the cards. I should have sat back with a cup…
This marks the twentieth review published on Locoyard! To finish our theme on modern steam’s hero, we
With the number of visits to preserved line’s that I’ve had in the past few week’s the layout has seen little action. But as days get shorter and colder, I think this will change! There has been one small purchase made
