Electrification didn't reach Norwich until 1986 so it was probably then.

Sorry to bump, but any update on how the route is going?

[jimessex]

Hello, thanks for asking.

Its still going on behind the scene. By the end of tomorrow I plan to have the final piece of track laid, which will be a nice moment.

Then two miles of signalling and scenery to complete before testing and then its done.

Now that will be a satisfying moment Jim, the LAST piece of track. Great news.

[MallardFan]

[jimessex]

Small update if anyone is still interested.....

241 thousand, 401 metres completed...

Christmas is on the way

[MallardFan]

That is great to hear - looking forward to the route

[david1]

I am glad you have continued with the route, cant wait to see the completed route

[chrisreb]

Great news!

[mojo12012]

Counting down.

[FoggyMorning]

Fantastic news, still really looking forward to this route. One positive to come from RS.com releasing a route covering much of the same ground is that there is now a good selection of suitable rolling stock available or in development

Crimbo is suddenly looking brighter.
