I thought I would take the opportunity to start again. A brief history in pictures of the Oxney Island Line.
   
    I started with the station loop. This is on a wall about 2 ft high which gives a nice working height. The foundation is lightweight blocks settled onto sharp sand.

The loop can easily take an 8 coach train. I like long trains and the layout is nearly level to enable this.

I also used timber decking for the 'flying' sections. This will later be a bridge.

The decking continued into the countyside. A bit raw but it will soon green up.

The full circuit was completed one evening. Great satisfaction.
Mallet on late night duties.

I finally got around to ballasting the blocks. This railway is going to evolve slowly but surely.

Testing the Mallet with the new coaches (and some existing ones). It passed easily.

The Scheoma diesel stayed on the line for a while but management (Me) decided it was not quite what we wanted. Came and went in e-bay.
