Update

Dear folk,
An update on BTM.
I discovered that I made the eastern section to the flyover far too long so have been cutting that back - a major undertaking, I can tell you. What it means is I have taken quite a few steps backwards so no progress outwards has been made, only the progress of adjusting everything so it fits better.
It was my own fault. I should have taken more measurements in GE and then some screenies that showed me the overall view so I could position things better.
Still, I am now on the lower section, that is below the canal, and have adjusted the HST Depot to suit and got a lot of buildings in between that and the canal. The coal yard is done and I am now about to dive over the road flyover and begin fresh work.

Here are some shots of the adjusted route :-

Running in from the west.

A disused station, a bit bare boards.

Nearing the road bridge

Bedminster station.

Plenty more to come...

Next lot

Way out where the docks branch starts

Another shot of that branch

Over and under, by a farm

Near a building site

The over-road where the portal is hidden.

More yet...

And very many thanks to Photobucket for free hosting.

Yet more

The container terminal north of the main MPD. This is now connected.

As can be seen, this is a very 'open' format terminal.

A shot taken from the road flyover of the yard in the fork between converging tracks.

The HST access tracks

The HST again with a variety of locos and a rake of FGW

Thanks Photobucket...
