Not done much on the layout as other challenges to take care of.

I did purchase a small 0.4.2 locomotive of unknown origin. It runs very well, so really pleased with.

After mopping up operations at Clarence Dock (see my diesel running thread) I ran some steam engines.

Everything ran successfully.

As for some of the buildings etc. it is a case of wait and see whether they can be salvaged or do I renew.

For some of them you could go for a run down look with demolition in progress :D and start replacing them with slightly newer style buildings.

The original theme of puddles after the rain is still at Clarence Dock. Puddles are done by a little clear varnish and pieces of plastic over the top. The wet ground is varnish again leaving part as if the ground is drying out.
