Not sure if any one has seen this but I thought I would post a link to this Southern Region layout

It has a working third rail and some very high quality scenery, not my work.

Indeed Simon has produced some excellent work.I think that working 3rd rail in P4 is a first....unless somebody knows better!

I did briefly think about it for our Balcombe project....... but there will be working overhead though.

Not for very long I trust, John!

I think Ted Scannell's bit of working 3rd rail test-track has been around for at least 10 years!

Hi James,

It took me a while to reply to you as I've spent the last few days on the commute to work catching up on what Simon has been doing by reading RMWeb.

The really is excellent work. I'd encourage anyone on here to go and have a browse of it, either for the technical prowess of a working third rail, or the superb scenic work that really captures the atmosphere of a coastal salt marsh, or both!

I'd forgotten about that layout myself. I'd been following it on Blogspot - http://stmaryhoo.blogspot.com/ - but as there had been no update since July last year I thought that work was suspended temporarily.

As RMWeb has become so flaky over the last few months on the technical side, I rarely look over there, and I simply can't get the notifications of new posts to work properly for me

Thanks for pointing it out. I'll pay much more attention in future!
Cheers

It is indeed very good work, and an invitation to bring the layout to Scaleforum once it is complete has been issued.

This layout was news to me as well, so I'm also grateful for the references to it, having more or less given up on RMweb as a means of finding things - lots of old thread and blog references don't work anymore, and the search facility is time-limited now as well. Grrr! Shame really, because there's quite a bit of good stuff there.
