Well that's about it for now. Not much has happened since January.
I went Digital last week, but with the prospect of a house move looming I haven't hooked it all up outside yet, but I have had a quick digi session on a test track in the house.
So what of the future?
Well, it will go one of two ways.
Either we'll move and I'll build a bigger, better SHLR in a larger garden (one of the conditions of the move - I ain't going to a smaller garden).
Or we'll stay put and I'll try to build a bigger, better SHLR in my existing Garden.
One thing that will change is the name. The SHLR will become the Shropshire Hills Light Railway, based around a fake history involving the closure of a standard gauge Shropshire railway, a Shropshire Brewery, and a well known Shropshire Sunday Market - ooh the suspense.
Anyhoo if I do have to pull it all up this weekend, I'll have a monster running session before it goes and pop some more piccies up on here next week.
Cheers all.

Hey Richie,
Yes mate still looking to remain in the Madeley area if possible (cos it's like Posh Telford), but also looking in Newport.
Interested in a place about 1/2 mile from the current house. Oldy worldy cottage with a large brick built workshop and a huuuuuge garden.
There have been a couple of silly offers made by another couple (both rejected), I'm hoping to get a sensible offer in on Tuesday, then we'll see how it goes from there.
