Well, Makerfield has now been officially dismantled. I wasn't happy with aspects of it so I decided to build something new. It was a complete pain getting the track up due to the glued ballast (I ended up using a steam cleaner, holding it against the ballast until it dissolved the glue, then carefully getting under the track with a narrow wallpaper knife.
I have to admit to being sad about ripping everything up. I actually couldn't get the station platforms up as they were chipboard based, seemingly spot welded to the baseboards. So I had to remove the whole front of the layout and replace with new boards.
So now I have a massive workbench until I start to build the new layout! I will start a new thread soon. The layout will be called "Hope Springs" as I like the name, I have a track plan and a massive diesel shed to accomodate (see "Hope Springs TMD" thread).
Quite looking forward to it now.... :-)
