It is hard to be optimistic.
We might have sold the cottage, again.
A major downside is the lack of suitable properties for sale.
We have one shortlisted, which is a lovely house in many ways, but isn't quite where we want to be, and has a small garden. This could be the end of the ELR, except as a temporary line.
On the plus side it will be ideal for a 16mm and 7/8ths line, particularly the latter, and whilst the attic room couldn't really home a major project, as I'd envisaged, it could home a number of smaller layouts rotated between use, display and storage.
To cheer myself up, I took delivery of my 60th birthday present to myself
