As if two layouts in the garage weren't enough, there had to be a third. Well there was a second garage only partially full of old clutter, so it really needed something to fill it right up. Also I felt a desire for something a least a little easier to handle than Walmer Bridge and Middleforth, without large numbers of layout slaves coming to my aid.
Easier meant lighter, so that meant plywood frames and tops. Fortunately Messrs Grainge and Hodder produced laser-cut boards that looked just the part, and spotting them at the Warley exhibition offering free delivery meant I had no excuse not to order. So I did.
A few weeks later two large parcels were delivered. Now occasionally I have felt that the packing element of a delivery charge was quite a bit for not very much, but not this time. A lot of time, effort and masking tape had gone into producing two masterpieces of packaging, that took almost as much effort to disassemble.
