Attached is an image of my first 009 layout Hillbrow. Fairly satisfied with the result so have a 4x2 board so a continuous run layout can be created- my first roundy-round layout I have had. Just the Greenwich couplings to be fitted to the stock.

Looking good, Steve - nicely atmospheric. Can we have some more pictures, please?!
David.
P.S. Not sure about 'just' the Greenwich couplings to fit...!
I would if I could work out how to resize pictures to post ???

Steve, Certainly has the look of a narrow gauge line that many lack.

Hi Steve,
Nice photos of a nice looking layout!
I see that you are based in Bournemouth. May I invite you to consider joining the Wessex NG Modellers. There are around 40 members mainly based in Hampshire and Dorset although we have some who are further afield. Loads of very experienced ng modellers and a very friendly and informal bunch. We meet monthly informally either at members homes in the area or if there is a big show on, at the show - eg Shepton Mallet on 18 Feb will serve as our February Meeting. Members model in several scales from (currently) 009 through to 16mm and the 009 and 7mm modellers have several very well known "premier division" exhibition layouts between them. You'd be assured of a warm welcome and membership would only cost you a fiver a year - benefits of membership : enormous!
As you are a member of this forum then I am assuming that you are a member of the 009 Society. Did you know that the Society sales operation is based just a few miles from where you live? If you are interested in joining WNGM , drop me a PM and I'll send you contact email addresses.

Hi Steve,
Glad to see you on the 009 Forum.
I had been following your exploits on your 3mm blog and was disappointed when you had to stop posting on it, so I am pleased you have set up another blog, and included your other scale interests too.

The latest addition to Hillbrow is this stone based water tower.

Looks like that 00 chap by the water tower has just banged his head on the H0 doorway :-)
Recently received the fascia nameplate from Jurassic Models- seen and ordered at Shepton.
