Easter saw a new street pop up, this time Bath Place, this is just south of the station. It shows yet another sort of terrace as well as a working class cottage. It was pointed out that because I was brought up in a bombed out city, the only way I know how to model is to start with a wreck and build a new town! The boxes fit in the layout so they can be removed at any time to clean the track. Brinklow also saw the last piece of back scene put in place. Now for Mike to start and shape it. We had a wet, cold Easter, very good for modelling.

Shown below, the track on the left is a newly installed underpass which enables us to take trains off the western region, store them under the baseboards and swop engines in the fiddleyards without going through Leamingston Spa Avenue. GWR loco's were not permitted in the Avenue due to their width.

Pete was busy at the weekend, trying to get his rake of teaks onto the layout.
