Talacre, 5th October 2009. The end.

5th October 2009

Sadly, for reasons I can't go into, the layout has had to be dismantled. All signals, nearly all the track and most of the buildings have been recovered with only the baseboards being scrapped. We even salvaged about 2/3rds of the wiring.
These are a few poignant views of the tracklifting process. Looks more like the Great Central Mainline around 1969.....
RIP Talacre and watch out for a new layout coming soon!!
