Been working on the walls on board 2 as well as finishing off all of the platform tops. Theres more in the scenary section.
Also been working on the little bit of wasteland near the dock at the Wolverhampton end of the station. Some more experimentation with photography in very low light can be found in the class 50 and class 310 pages in the stock section.
Finally, may I take the opportunity to wish all visitors to my little corner of the internet a Happy Christmas and best wishes for 2011!

Time for another update. There are a few new sections to the website as well as a conclusion to an ongoing project!
First up I have had a track building urge again and good progress has been made on the London/Derby end station thoat. To see more go to the track page.
A new section on how I am building my roads can be found in the scenary section.
If you have roads you need vehicles to go on them! See more in the Vehicles section.
Finally my staff building is finished!

Been busy with more trackwork. I have also loaded a more up to date (and clearer to see) track plan for the station area to the layout section.
20th July 2007
All of the track that crosses between boards 1 and 2 is now down. This means that board 1 can go into storage for a while and track laying can continue onto board 2.
As with all things often tweaks need to be made when you see things full size and the roads over this part of the station are not quite right. Altering these does not affect the work done so far.

With all of the switch and crossing work on the first board finished I popped the signal box in situe to get a sense of height to the work so far. After all of the 1 in 9 crossing work the B6 in the loco sidings seems ever so tight!
15th June 2007
A shade over a month since I started tracklaying and I have to be a bit surprised as to progress so far. More pictures can be seen in the layout section, under track.

I have finally decided it’s about time I put a website together to chart the progress on my model railway – p4newstreet.
Basically a model of Birmingham New Street station and surrounding areas, set in the late 1980’s (1986-1987 to be exact) and built using P4 track Standards. See the layout section for more details.
I Plan to update the website as and when there is some progress to report so hopefully you will pop back now and then to see how things progress.
