The O Gauge section have relaid the inner circuit using Peco track to allow the running of finescale stock, currently a loop and extra sidings are in the process of being installed.
The R/C Road Section built a new concrete roadway base by the site entrance to run their large scale trucks and tanks.
Indoors the OO Section have rebuilt the lifting baseboard, aiding access for our less agile members and are completing the relaying of the main lines through the station.
