It’s time to get this project back on track now that I’ve finally caught up with other renovations! I’ll be dedicating a substantial amount of time to hopefully create something special over the coming six months or so, and look forward to sharing the experience with those interested. Here is a newly acquired signal which we will be erecting in weeks to come. The carriage will be transformed into first class accommodation 🚂
