I havn't been able to do much work on the layout this year, however I recently acquired a Rapido Highland Railway Jones Goods which I photographed for the records and took the opportunity to run a ballast headed by 192. I have done a little work on the scenery for the extension to the left of the bridge but I'm not really up for it at the moment. Roll on 2026!

Here is a snip from the Geohive IE Map always a useful source for track plans. THe 'Arrow ' on the bridge handily shows the where the photo was taken from.

The 2 tracks in the foreground are 2 seperate single track routes, left to/from Bantry and Baltimore and right to/from Clonakilty so the crossovers are access for each route to the different platforms. Clonakilty had routes to or from 3 platforms whereas the Bantry route only had the 2 lefthand platform lines.
