January 2023

Happy New Year from the Teddies.

3D printing has continued during December and the Christmas break, so that there is a new fleet of cars ready to be painted.  We just need to decide if colours, other than black, are permitted.

Painting will be done soon, including the flatbed truck that was completed a few months ago.

March 2023

The Teddies have a nice new siding as well as better flower beds ready for the plants.

April and May 2023

Repairs to the stations and platforms has been carried out.

First to be done was Walldale and then one of the Alyn Central platforms and the bridge, along with the lights on the platforms.

The remaining work will be carried out soon.

June 2023

Alyn Central Station’s repairs and renovations have finished. The teddies are pleased that it looks so good.

A few new people have also arrived.

The flowers planted around the line have bloomed beautifully and are a riot of colour.

July 2023

No recent changes to the line.

However the Teddies were able to show off the railway and flowers to a group of friends who visited as part of a Scouting Support Group Barbecue in the garden.

November  2023

As mentioned before, construction has now commenced on the parts for the new Alyn Central station building. It will be made up of a mix of resin walls and 3D printed parts.

Some windows and walls have been made.  The bears took delivery of a few parts including some of the windows.

The design has been updated since the original ideas created in 2022.
