Hi folks,

As you've probably guessed by recent posts in the forum, the Kirklees Light Railway is under production!

All 5 locos are to be included, plus some 'blasts from the past' but you can wait to see what they are

.

No shots as yet as just recovering from PC crash, although they'll be uploaded ASAP.

The product will be donationware, and available from the line itself around Christmas.

Keep an eye out for news!

The thinking is that the turntables will be set to centre road, and in activities the activity ends on the turntable, and a new one starts with the loco in the loop.

Only compromise I can make!

Yep, it involved a lot of crawling around but it was worth it!

Looks great; I really can't wait to get hold of this. It's one of my favorite routes as well.

Are the other engines being built yet - or is it 'for the future'?

They'll be shown in due course!
