While most attention recently has been on the new Shard End N gauge layout, Birches Green has not been forgotten. When the layout was first built a few years ago it used a mixture of HOe/OO-9 and N gauge track. The latter is the correct gauge though out of scale of course. It was used mostly due to the fact I had lots of N gauge track available, the intention was to use it in the short term to save money and replace with HOe or OO-9 track later on.
Although slightly later than originally intended that is now happening. The goods yard has been taken up and relaid with new track (the N gauge points have been reused), the layout will be slightly different to as it was before. All that leaves then is the carriage siding...
