Doveston Reborn - The Narrow gauge is down

After a trip to the local modelshop, I've finally been able to purchase the 009 track needed to complete Doveston's rebuild track wise. It doesn't look like much at first but when measured, its twice the running line of Blaencwm and unlike Blaencwm, the line is capable of running 4 FR coaches and a double fairlie with ease compared to Blaencwm's 1 engine and 1 coach limit.

Also, several new OO gauge sidings have been added to increase the amount of storage space for engines and rolling stock.



It seems that Doveston is turning into a test layout more than a layout that can be sceniced. That said, based on the aerial photographs a part scenic part workbench type of layout does still seem to be possible.

Until next time,

Jon
