8683 takes on more coal as Commonwealth of Australia roars past on the up Coronation

Thanks for the positive feedback. Not strictly a layout shot but very chuffed with myself for managing to put this together. Lots of swearing out loud but worth it in the end! It’s true what they say - these ratio signal kits reward patience.

Evening All, I've lurked around these forums for a little while enjoying the pictures of other members' layouts and I think it's high time I put some images of my own efforts to this thread. Like many here I suspect, I started in the loft during lockdown as something I could do together with my son reprising a hobby I enjoyed myself growing up. Progress has been steady since and Bennington Junction is taking shape. Located somewhere in the NE it is purely a result of my imagination and not based on anywhere in particular. Here are a couple of shots over the goods yard and junction where the branchline meets the ECML. All constructive feedback gratefully recevied!
