Metaley Model Railway Layout

some more photos from this evening

I have put a few points down and track to get an idea of what I want, Also made a start on painting some wagon loads but I think they would be better as a scrap pile

As with most good things Carr Crofts has come to an end as did Henry Musgrave`s coal yard. It was good fun, and I have enjoyed everyone`s comments and advise, the research and making a layout.
So the next thing for me is Metaley. For the time being Carr Crofts is to be a experiment for the new layout to test idea`s again to practice and gain more modelling skills try differing techniques and the like.
... The Carr Crofts layout is in a way being recycled probably until next year (when I will build new boards) but without the coal yard which has been ripped up to make way for a experimental scrap metal yard The last picture showing some wood again where the new lines are to be laid

A few more photos of my new 37049 Imperial

My new Bachmann 37049 Imperial is on the layout, I am slightly disappointed because it does not have sprung buffers which I have come to expect from new models but it is a nice model all the same

A Walthers resin scrap metal bales pile came in the post today as well as a couple of skips, and a new building kit by Piko from Gaugemaster Controls I might make a start on the building tomorrow if it is raining.
