Left Side Monitoring: Quad Split 1

The Storage Area as seen from low-level, and lit by White LEDs (Christmas Light Strings)
VERY temporary Video Wiring whilst the camera positions are determined.
Instow to the Left - Change to Profi-track at the Overbridge
Upper Level Scenary Removed to reveal Torrington to Halwill 'Test Loop'
Temporary Camera wiring visible - and a camera on the bridge looking back at Torrington
Rear, curved siding disappears into hill, as does possible narrow gauge line
A Narrow Gauge Shuttle line (as pre-standard gauge extension) continues into the grey hillside
A more general view of Ilfracombe with the Torridge / Torrington Valley at the back:
'Torrington Castle' (left) relocated, provides a scenic break between Instow and Ilfracombe Turntable
The Valley is formed by rigid-foam lift-off scenary, re positioned lower than originally, for better viewing!
Ilfracombe Test Loop and GWR Branchline are below, heading for 'Victoria Road'.
Farm buildings , a Pub, and Faller Farm vehicles will complete the tree-lined Valley Scenary
(Scenic Details will be added shortly - but its important to have working track and completed wiring first! )
