Although its been over a month since I updated this site, the layout has been progressing at a slow but steady pace. After the change of plan, the fiddle yard has been reduced to 5 tracks and completed successfully. In front of the fiddle yard, I have started the up and down main lines. These will have two island platforms in between the four tracks.

During the process progress had to be halted for a short while as the stock of flexi-track was exhausted. As there wasn't much left to complete the circuits, I decided to source some used track from eBay. My initial purchase was of a very poor quality and made me wish I had just ordered new track instead. However, I then made another purchase that proved to be just what I required. Progress has once again been halted due to running out of rail-joiners (fishplates). Once these have been purchased, I intend to complete the main lines and the track laying will be complete (at least for the time being).
