Despite fighting the incursion of thigh high grass and keeping up with the vegetable garden, progress has been made with the lower staging.  I am now the proud owner of 6x15ft storage lines which have been tested for continuity and await the all important DCC test with the shorting instrument!

This is Spalding in about 1970.  I dont think that I will have space to house train lengths like this - it is probably an empties train made up from wagons that delivered coal to the adjacent sugar beet factory.  

This scene is long gone and the yarf is now a car park and the front of the station opens direct onto a main road.

Those JPEGs are awful.  I will have another try perhaps with the CTI schematics - sorry!

High Fulney is a work commencing.  It is to be a 28ft x 10ft (8x4metre) free representation of the tracks that once passed through the UK town of Spalding in Lincolnshire. This is to be built in a draughty old lambing shed next to the swimming pool 150m from the house.

Starting in 1848 with the arrival of the Great Northern Railway Spalding's importance as a junction rapidly grew until in 1890 the Midland and Great Northern completed it's E/W link from the Midlands to the important fishing and holiday town of Yarmouth.
