Passenger service departure at Yaldbury!

This little project is bringing me a real sense of achievement which is why I'm sharing it here, and it has me thinking about how I used to feel the same about wargaming but no longer do and why. I don't intend to overthink things though, just enjoy the moment. I'm considering extending the layout beyond the tunnel  which would allow a longer run in and a brewery with siding (good Kentish Ale!)

On the painting front it's Peninsular Month, starting with 2 battalions of the Young Guard, 18mm AB figures for Mark. I have also now secured the remainder of Hannibal's Epic Army which comprises 28 bases of 5 skirmishers, 24 bases of 5 cavalry, 12 bases of  20 Libyan heavy infantry (strips), various mounted command figures, the 'Specials' Generals packs and of course the Elephants so I'm pretty solidly booked now for a few months ahead. 


The 4F tender loco has pulled the branch passenger service into the station and uncoupled to run around the loop. 

Still on the workbench, more to do!

3F tank loco awaits departure in the siding with a short goods delivery.

A view along the non scenic end, 4F has now reversed to re couple and is ready to take out the limited passenger service.
