TheG&H baseboard kit has finally arrived for another german cameo layout, it runs with a little diesel shunter and few wagons, I intend to use a couple of Itentio Models cassettes.

All stock will be ‘borrowed’ from Pottendorf, just an old diesel.
The brickworks is a 40+year old kit once offered by Pola, I need to make a break from branchlines and much of this is an loose adaptation of the South Western Pottery site began by George Jennings of Parkstone, Poole. The site had a claypit connected to the pottery by a NG on which a Hibberd puttered about but when pit was exhausted, clay was brought in by rail from Norden on a spur from Parkstone and road from nearby pits in the Alder Valley, Branksome
I simply need to devise a working trackplan, this will be fun as the Pola kit occupies an impressive footprint, 250x225mm, maybe look at the set-up at Parkstone for inspiration.
