Starting to come together
Setts in place and some filler sploshed about
Platform road and run round ballasted
More polyfiller
Buildings and walls in place
Fancy pavement and water feature
Looks like winter has come early
Fear not, Aslan soon breathed over Underhill
The thaw begins as colour starts to spread and the sky is blue
Green is springing up everywhere
A test train in the platform
Station Bridge has a road surface and a sign
St George and the dragons church
The last and fiddliest thing - station steps 1
Station steps 2
Station steps 3
The layout needed one more trestle which I finished on Thursday evening
Parrot Cutting gets its name from the Parrot Inn to the left
- Please drink responsibly- not everyone does...
The luxury fiddle yard in action, how have I managed without one?
Eigiau and pre-preservation train passing Town Quarry
A busy time at Underhill Town
Over the gate
All in all I had a most enjoyable time at the show playing trains and virtually everything worked as it should. On the new bit half a point motor failed which I am hoping is just some sloppy soldering on the motor itself as I can get at that easily. If it is on the control panel I will have to rip up the station and road, fingers crossed. The other point motor which seems to be going soft is the one at the entrance to the Cheese Factory sidings but this is now not a great issue.
So quite a bit of finishing things off and finessing to do but on the whole it is ready for Great & Small III 9-11 September and Wigan in early October.

Blimey......that must have been one heck of a week, John! When I saw the layout at ByG, Underhill Town certainly didn't betray how quickly you'd built it!
Hope the point motor problem cam be easily solved.....
It's a pity I can't get to Great and Small, perhaps next year?
Cheers,Simon.
