This is slightly bitter sweet, the last pictures I will be posting of canton under my ownership,
Here it is,
Robs superb 47xx, this is a good way to finish as Rob has been a godsend as he is responsible for doing all the templot plans for Ranelagh Bridge so it leads us right back to the next project.
Back in February 2013 this is what I started with,
With an exhibition invite for June that year and plenty of ideas I set out to prove you can model a real location in a small space.
I hope you have all enjoyed watching this layout grow over the past 14 months and thanks for the input

Back to work on the western, 
Catching up on what Brian is doing to his model I've decoded to make a new milometer and make an ATC earthing rod.
I will hopefully have some lovely new castings to add on very soon.
And one more from my friend David cooper of D7022 on Hatton bank
I forgot to post this picture up from a few weeks ago, whilst having a visit to Leamington Spa we added the additional maud hole covers on to 5043's boiler. I added a bit of scale streaking then Pete blended it in with some powders and an air brush.
