Prairie Tank
Western Thunderer
After spending 38 hours, over the bank holiday period, locked in mortal combat with The Beeching & Axe Moor lay out, I have reluctantly decided to call it quits.
Every time I sorted a problem it showed two or three more and after consulting with my co builders (Mrs PT and Tim) the decision was made to just start a fresh.
I am commissioning a very good track builder to make the track this time, salvaging what he can, the rest will be used on the shelves I display my models on.
The new lay out will be called Kingswood and will have a sign reading Kingswood change for Shelby Wood so it ties in with my O fine scale lay out.
My first couple of jobs have been changing the dogs hind leg cut cork (so cut to ensure that they fit the awful boards edged boards that are now being replaced) to nice straight edges and to change the back boards to a more wooded scene.
The track plan will be the same as the one being replaced and it will have the beautiful station building as the centre piece, also a signal box in the same style as the one at Highley.
