A cunning plan



There has been some comment on the NGRM forum recently that no one ever posts a track plan of their layout. Well, here is one of mine. Obviously not to scale and my curves are somewhat smoother than shown here but it gives a fair idea of what goes where.

So a quick pictorial trip along the line as it stands today. There is a large expanse of missing sky beyond Town Quarry, basically all the bit that has never been exhibited. My original plan was to have a photo printed but as it gets bigger and bigger behind the new bit I'm not sure and may resort to painting a roll of wallpaper lining paper a pale blue.

This is Underhill Town

'Olwen' and train emerging from Parrot cutting

A train startles some geese as it rumbles over the bridge

Double headed Baldwins on a P Way train

Town Quarry junction and the upper level and adit of the quarry

A rake of empty skips waiting to be loaded

'Olwen' blasting up the grade through Rock Beach cutting

A train wafts past an abandoned cottage in the countryside on its way to Underhill

Rock Beach Lighthouse siding with 'Brigitte' passing by

Rock Beach halt

The village of Rock Beach and the lighthouse

Upper Bay pretty much as it is at the moment showing the connection to Rock Beach, the hidden sidings are hidden behind the foam core board at the back
