Will you be putting the RAF depot siding back in?


Hi Keith, not sure. Still haven't decided what the sidings will be - timber mill, military base, per way yard, all things I'm thinking of. Could end up being something generic that will change depending on what stock is parked in it.


Perhaps light weight removable buildings that could be put in place for photos etc


Yes that's a good idea. Will give it some thought. Thanks mate.

I'm suprised you are keeping the small loop at Wetton Mel- would you actually use that do you think? Can't help but think it's a bit of a waste of that space- but you knew I'd find something to complain about

Why not run the railway through the middle of that patch, i.e. shift Wetton station back a couple of foot, and have a bit of a town scene going on around it?

Well, I couldn't think of any critical to say about the new bit, it looks great... so I had to grumble about the old bit. Grumpy old Matt

Oh come on Matt, think about it. If I took the Wetton loop up  I wouldn't be able to run trains for the next couple of months .......... and that would just be silly. Real Big Smile

That is very, very true.

OK, what about when you've built the new bit :P

You'd have been worried about me if I hadn't found something to grumble about...

Perhaps Matt could build the viaduct? Y'know, put all that studying to good use.

Aaaaaaaanyway - latest news from the front is that all the (ex) railway stuff is now gone ....... or it will be next time I go to the tip. That just leaves 2 aviaries to take down and then it's the apple tree's turn.

I know that many people liked the old town section (as did I), but the plain truth that's become apparent during the demolition is that the baseboards were a reet bodge job and wouldn't have lasted much longer anyhoo. Some of you may remember that they were constructed (thrown together) at the same time as the infamous kitchen re-build - well, that's my excuse anyway. To be honest, I was never really happy with the running qualities through the town section, mostly due to the crepe baseboards - although, to be fair, I always had it in mind that that section was temporary and that one day I'd strike out into the rest of the garden.

Still, we learn from our mistakes, to err is human and all that. I've learnt my lesson and the new bit will be built to a higher standard as far as track laying is concerned.

As Frank Spencer's mum used to teach him, "every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better". Mind you, she must have been a reet pillock.

Took me a minute to work out where that was in your garden, Mel!

Can't wait to see the re-born narrows.....and Matt, that loop comes in handy....
