10. What do you mean, another layout?

 Its not really a layout as such, but another diorama with trains…

“Johnsons Wharf” as it has been tentatively named, as a tribute to the late Pete Johnson, the modeler who created Canada Street, an EM gauge amalgam of various dockyard railways which delighted me so much. 

I'm planning a variation on the Canal Wharf boxfile set that Scalescenes produces which was favorably discounted this last weekend. The basic idea is to build something in EM to shunt stock about on a bit. The variation might be just mirroring the left-hand building to extend slightly to the left and having a sector plate permanently on the right.



It won’t be in a box file, but I’ll ensure that it fits into a plastic box, and the baseboard will be the mount-board-foam-core-sandwich construction I’ve been using of late.

Also, the 2mm FS Finetrax point kit has arrived after a long wait, nobody’s fault, so work can now proceed on the Mill’s trackwork.
