BGLR : The 2020 vision

As the year comes to an end we won't reflect on the BGLR in 2019 (the existing review covers that anyway) but will instead look forward. In 2020 the plan is to complete the tramway and begin operating it regularly. Work will also begin on an extension to the main board which will include enough siding storage space that we may no longer need to rotate the active locomotive fleet. The final corner of the layout will also get some scenic attention.

Rolling stock wise we are keen to get a steam locomotive and a new shunter. A tank wagon would also be good as that is the one thing the freight fleet is lacking. However rolling stock plans depend on availability which can be hard to predict. Anyway there is much more to look forward to on the BGLR in the new year.
