About Me

My photo
When i left school back then i was lucky enough to enroll on an engineering apprenticeship. I think this lead me in good stead. I was always one of those children that pulled things apart but actually put them back together again. My first engine given to me at the age of Seven, a Triang Princess Elizabeth. The rest as they say is History. Later in life i got back in to Model Railways and started building Pine Road. This could lead anywhere so i hope you enjoy my Blog.

Exton Quay's Track laying

The track is laid
I have chosen the method i know best, well, why fix something if its not broken. Smp track was used with copper clad construction for the points.
Saying that! 
I am looking for something different to use for a Tie Bar rather than the "sleeper" that i have used before, hence they haven't been fitted yet.
Perhaps i am sad but actually find track building rather therapeutic.

 The platform will be just in front of the train. The line in the foreground is the bay platform
