Potpourri #1067
Just a short post today – I’ve had a busy week, ending up with a day’s Safeguarding training for church. Necessary, but slightly mind-numbing. I did come across these two videos. One, the original O’Dell County Traction layout. This was … Continue reading

Slow progress on the Minories – I’ve had a few days reading some good books. But I have made up and laid the track for the three platforms. The 4-CEP is to check that it will fit into the shortest … Continue reading
