Watch this page as we report progress on our new OO layout Laurencekirk
The photo shows Laurencekirk as it is today looking North towards the loops. No Up platform or buildings remain but the main building is still remarkably intact as is the timber goods shed in the yard. We believe the station will re-open soon but what modernisation will mean remains to be seen. At least we are talking about a station opening!
However, we are taking it back to the 1960's when the A4's spent their last period 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.....
