I had been considering ending Birches Green and starting a new N gauge layout. In the end i have found a third way, i am going to have both layouts! The HO tramline side project has been terminated, the part that has been ballasted in will remain as a static line. The rest of the board built for the tramline will be used for a small end to end N gauge layout based on a British Railway branch line in about 1970 which will be called Shard End!
