Well i finally decided on the future of the layout and that is to end the Eskalon project in its current form and instead start a new British Rail N gauge layout. To that end i bought a Class 411 EMU today and very nice it is too, it runs fine on Eskalon of course as it uses N gauge track. Indeed the new layout will use as much as possible from Eskalon. As for HOe? Its not the end, i am going to build an end-to-end layout at some stage for my HOe fleet plus the "N version" Eskalon will retain the ability to run HOe locos for running in purposes.
