A few views of my Railway. Sadly I shall be moving house soon and have sold it to the new owners. The good news is that I shall have fun doing it all again at my new place !

Can't beat a new start

Glad to hear the railway is being sold on with the house, and not being ripped up as seems to happen so often when an enthusiast moves - hopefully the new owner will maintain and enjoy it for many years!
Looking forward to seeing your new developments.....

Jon.

Looks a nice layout an an impressive station area, but good to have a new project.

Good luck with the move....

Thanks for all the good wishes. I was hoping the new owners would buy it, saves me a lot of work for one thing. I am only moving 8kms away, my new place is a lot smaller so only room for a small layout. One thing I will do is use rail clamps on all joins, I have had so much trouble over the years with dodgy joints, the railway and me !

Raise it to waist height as well lot easier to maintain and enjoy. No bending down.

That is what I have done.

If your new railway will be anything like what I see in your photos, it will be outstanding.

Thanks Madman. I do intend to make the new layout at waist height, that will help with the aforementioned joints ! The biggest problem with the existing layout was slugs on the line. I left my Massoth 1200 on one night and killed an awful lot of slugs across the rails.

I'd call that a bonus - hope the 1200 was OK though
