Britain, once under Viking control, is the site of an endless stream of archeological
excavations, including this piece, on "Bamburg," a British OO layout.
I will be building this into a Viking ship excavation. Across the tracks from
Stone Henge. The model is 1/50 by Revell.

WHOA! Awesome idea, Chops! Hope the scene works out well on your layout.

You kind of motivated me to do something- and I thank you for that!!
I've got to move the grave stones over to the other side of the layout, where
I moved the 15th century church. Then I'll put it up for BOTW.
Below is a "before" image of what I was struggling with. Bit hard to see, but
I had two tracks going towards the view, and three mashed in going away
with a multitude of Atlas #4 standing in for the useful Hornby brand of
turnout.
This is the "after" image:

| Cool layout. I'm looking forward to close-ups of the 15th century church. Is that a moat around the church?

geese to add grace to the scene. Here it be as February last...

Well, I was in the Dollar Store the other day, and
by luck I found a lovely HO scale Pliosaurus, which
some have theorized is Nessie. I'll post it soon!
Wonderful suggestion!

BTW, the fabulous Electrotren Wine Wagon was a gift from my beloved
sister, May.

Chops,
Nice video of the layout. I like the side views of the castle and Tudor house, and then we see that Nessie has hitched a ride!  Is that a damsel in distress in the castle window?
