Hey hey, progress on East Guildford is advancing rapidly to ready the layout for exhibition at the AMRA WA Annual Model Railway exhibition to be held on the June long weekend which will be the 4th, 5th, and 6th of June, 2022.
On Monday the 9th of January 2022, the layout was repositioned to allow the returns and yard to be added with help and thanks to members of the S scale SIG who attended the meeting.
A special thanks goes to Lynton Englund and Neil Blinco for their beautiful work on the old station masters house which is on an angle next to the road level crossing at the Midland end of the layout. The other scenery is thanks to Trevor Bourke and wiring is done by Greg Aitken.
