Been working MOW misc vehicles & West1 module backdrops (in background) as they have to be installed before the refinery module. Some store-bought, some Trident, some Athern conversions & some scratch built WIP. Oh, and the brick factory module replaced by the refinery. It will carry the 105mm motorized battery in action dio maybe. PaulE

Refinery installed. Backdrops temporary except West1. Couldn't resist laying some track. Tough keeping to 2% grade std.




Siding in foreground goes to hidden staging West. The other two runs are inbound & outbound mainline continuous run & access to hidden staging East. C&Cs welcomed. PaulE
