Life Choices....

Progress on hold yet again, But with Good Reason :)

I'm Currently involved in an Interview Process that if successful I could be Learning to become a
Railway Engineer Apprentice for the National Railway Network, Though there's no need to uncover Details about it, other than that it is in Doncaster with a Training Company, which would be involved with other companies to help get into employment in the Sector.

Friday I was successful, Now for getting up early Monday morning, So hopefully I get on this Course and be able to bring more updates to Calderfoot Bank in the Hopeful Near Future..

So while Waiting for the Train Home This Newly Painted Beastly 67 decided to Let Rip through the Centre Road  :)
  
So Hope a Good Look HST thrash in the morning will help me Progress :)

Injury time....

Ouchy

I know I have not updated this for a while, but with other commitments it make it more impossible to update progress.
Recently I've developed an old injury that has plagued me for a few months now on my Arm and Shoulder, which has put layout building into doubt  Progress will continue once I get the Clear from the Doctor this week and Once my Daughter has gone back to her mothers I Can perhaps start wiring or Scenic's on the Layout which will be fun, But that's if I get the all clear and Future plans could be put into jeopardy so fingers-crossed for Thursday :)

Changes to Layout Plans
Project Calderfoot will Retain its name, but with Possible 3 Layouts to Build that will hold its same name, The first which I'm Currently Building now is called Calderfoot Bank.

Calderfoot Bank
This Layout (being built) is based on an Isolated part of the Town of Calderfoot itself Due to the fact there's a Very Narrow Bridge that connects the Main Round with this estate which make commuting very hard.
The Layout Consist of Two Platforms One for Regualar Traffic the other is for Postal and goods from the Nearby Paper Factory, Which is the Main Reason the keep the line open During the Beeching and Tory Regime in the 80's Because It would of Cost the Government more money to Build a new bridge than maintain the existing Railway..... More Details to follow.....

Calderfoot TMD (next Project (if Possible))
