As you can see from the photographs above, we have been making steady progress with this new section of the layout. Carswater station now has fencing and buildings, the ballast depot is coming along nicely and more of the hills have been grassed over.
The track here has almost all been ballasted too and this should be finished next weekend.
Of course there is still much more work to be done, both here and elsewhere on the layout, but at least we can start running trains again - once the track has had a deep and thorough clean!
