Here you will be able to follow progress on the planning and construction of our new layout.

The photo shows Laurencekirk as it was before refurbishment and re-opening looking North towards the loops. No Up platform or buildings remained but the main building was still remarkably intact as was the timber goods shed in the yard.

However, we are taking it back to the 1960's when, for example, the A4's spent their last years in service on the Glasgow - Aberdeen expresses.

Laurencekirk had a small goods yard and loops and makes, we think, an ideal spot to watch the trains go by.

1st November 2008: Baseboards are nearly finished and we have assembled the fiddle yard from Almond Bridge to see how they fit together. We will use Almond Bridge fiddle yard for this layout. Now that we almost have completed baseboards the fun begins.....




24th August 2009: Slow progress! Having taken a break while our resources (and fiddle yard) were devoted to completing Old Blarney, we have just started work again. The baseboards are back up and some track has been laid.
