Although it has been some time since our last post, work has been steadily progressing on Dunallander, not only on a Tuesday evening, but members have also been carrying out tasks at home. Roy especially has carried out an immense amount of work on the layout. Mike has been continuing to create the buildings and Tony has been working on the layouts locomotives, stock and water columns.

On the layout, progress has been made on the second scenic board by Roy and Tony and small removable sections have been added by Roy to accomodate further buildings. (Roy could definately have a sideline in making jigsaws). John has been trying to get the platforms to match the photographs and as the song goes 'Someday Soon'. Below are a few photographs of the latest work carried out.
