Birds Eye Fish Fingers Van

 This Birds Eye Fish Fingers van arrived this morning.

Test Running Thomas and Percy

 With Percy arriving this morning, I serviced it.

I then videoed it and Thomas on their short test runs.

This is Thomas.

And this is Percy.

Percy

 Percy arrived in the post this morning.

Troublesome Truck and Brake Van

 This morning a 2nd troublesome truck and brake van arrived.

Along with the previously acquired troublesome truck and milk wagon they make a nice freight set.

The Hatts

This morning I painted Sir Topham (the fat controller) and Lady Hatt and attached them to a bench.

They will be sitting on the bench on the platform in front of the station building.

Troublesome Truck

 This Troublesome Truck arrived in the post this morning.

It goes nicely with the milk tanker.

Track and Other Bits

 All the track for the railway arrived today.

Also the level crossing.

Finally a buffer stop kit.

Train Controller and Power Supply

 This is the controller and plug top transformer which I will be wiring into the layout and baseboard.

Thomas, Annie & Clarabel

 I have managed to purchase Thomas, Annie, Clarabel and a milk tanker for the railway.

A little bird has told me Orion loves Thomas, I do hope so. 😊

The Plan of the Layout

 This is an approximate plan of the proposed layout.

It shows the station platform and buildings, the road crossing the railway at the level crossing and going to the station, the goods shed, water tower and water crane in the siding, the signal box by the level crossing and the 4 large signals. The ground signal for the siding is too small to illustrate on this plan.
