Hello Brian and a happy new year.

The model is coming along nicely, but I am intrigued by what looks like a load of coal in the background at the right hand end behind the mill, are you putting a real steam engine in the mill ::) or having loco's in steam ;D up there?

I can see the slope of the roof, so you're not in a cellar, so obviously, you are not storing coal in a loft, so put me out of my misery and tell me what it is piled up there.

Kind regards,

BrianT.

Big Change of plan

I have ordered some new baseboards which will give me a Round layout 2ft 6ins radius, 5ft/1520mm Circumference at 350mm/14ins wide. as a set of 8 boards
I will be using the same track & buildings
