Lynneton Yard
17th February 2009

Lynneton Yard started as a simple test bed to relearn my modelling skills after a knee replacement operation.

It is based upon John Allen's 'time saver' shunting puzzle but has since taken on a life of its own until is is now a more detailed layout.

This close up shot shows how the 'cops and robbers' figures are fixed in place. It is much easier to get them to stand up when they are on a plastic base, but this will have to be disguised later on
