Last weekend my son and I managed to get some of the landscaping started on Amberleigh. Using some brown tape and newspaper we got the basics of the landscape laid down, ready for some plaster bandage. We also modified the track plan changing it to a single track branchline, due to space limitations. This branchline miraculously survived Dr Beeching's axe!! This, as the idea develops, is due to the local ECC quarry, which really was the case for the Torrinton brach into the 1980s. It is really sad that this railway has since been lifted, if it had survived a few years longer passenger trains would have started running again.
Today we added the plaster bandage to the layout and also the tunnel entrances. We put in the powerbus underneath the layout as well. Tomorrow we will finish the plaster bandage and even lay some of the track. Unfortunately, I am away with work all the coming week, and another weekend wedding will mean progress will again grind to a halt.
