That's quite a layout you have there.
I think you will find operating with the goods yard fun.

Kind regards Peter M

Thanks for your kind comments, Peter M.

Making up wagons for despatch has certainly added a new dimension to operations.

The challenges of family life are getting bigger. I am going to stop doing large scenery work and just plant a tree or three instead. Running trains is the 'order of the day'.

I wish I had that outlook - I get in the shed, see how much there is to do, the empty baseboard areas and never run a train, sometimes for weeks! The project manager doesn’t know why I have the trains.

Nice shots.
