Its been a bit since the last post and figured autumn is a good time. The engine shed has been somewhat expanded, I started with removing the triangle at the top thanks to the better, far flatter triangle at the bottom of the layout. Then adding 2 turnouts and sidings. The framework was simple but strong enough for the job. The theme is based on the French Foreign Legion Fort used in campaigns across North Africa. Could come in handy in case of WWIII and its reinforced with 7mm of external plywood AND a special formula Temu bullet proof paint the fancy talking AI salesman said!

| A few years earlier, laying 7.25" gauge |
 |
| Track being the important stuff first, then just plop the model shed down. |
 |
| Framing in place. |
 |
| Pond slowly draining, pond wall needs moving in a bit and retaining wall built. |
 |
| Both door frames in place, putty & paint applied |
 |
| One day soon a 4 loco lineup might be possible. Tunnel for the G gauge layout incorporated, the missing section sits in place to allow running but I plan on altering the layout in the future. |
 |
| Doors coming together,going to further dress the doors with decking timber placed vertically.First plank fixed in place in the middle. |
 |
| Today saw Dad & Daisy following my brother David & his Daughter pass the "town". Never seem to see the climax stuck behind anything.. |
