Always great to see full length trains running especially in N gauge. The track work looks great and like the fact you have painted the points the attention to detail around the point motor covers etc, very neat.
Lots of work there Ben. That will be some layout to see at an Exhibition, and I look forward to that at some point. It does look really good with so many trains running at once. Stephen
Hi Ben - wow ! Can appreciate the work that has gone into just getting the track laid. Looks superb even at this stage. Would be great to see it in the flesh so to speak - becoming an awesome layout. Cheers Euan
Hiya Ben. Hope you're well. Wow you have been busy . Looking forward to seeing this area finished. You know you are missing the pylon at the south end of the station 😂 what are those engineering wagons in the siding on the new section 🤔 those look interesting
Ta mate, ☺️there is very little chance I will be modelling the pylons, for starters even in n they are probably at least 30cm high I imagine, the wagons are a Balfour Beattie HOCT wagon and crane, nicely scratch built by someone I bought off ebay, the base wagon being a kfa with gps bogies.
Hodge track re-build. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.

Cheers mate, yeh painting the points and flexi track concrete colour and rails was very time consuming but worth it I think
Amazing Ben. Love the trackwork. Ian
Cheers Ian, fun but challenging, specially with the main curve and painting the track.

Its becoming a impressive layout❤

What ballast do you use, and what do you weather the track with?
I use woodland scenics fine gray ballast, and I sprayed vallejo umber/ light brown on, I find railmatch sleeper grime to harsh cheers
