Baie de LA Maye - the future
Any action will depend on the layout meeting the Circle's current mantra
'No action till
funding is available, there's identified operators, and an identified
need'.
Currently the Baie de
la Maye has no role. It is not needed at
Tadworth were there is neither an operator nor space or other exhibitions were standard gauge layouts are preferred.
There are on/off plans for a
third annual exhibition 'large layout',
continental, American, and/or narrow gauge.
These plans do no include a Se layout.
OPTIONS
A.
Refurbish
adding details such as buffers & point leavers
and upgrade the scenery such as adding flowers.

Split into
Marquenterre (boards 3
& 4) and St. Quentin en Tourmont (boards

C.
St. Quentin en Tourmont - Build a shelf on the
back of the layout, relay the u-turns, and add a new fiddle yard on the
shelf.
New sand siding with new point and melt the sandpit 'water' & reposition
the hose or take the sandpit out of use.
D.
Marquenterre - back scene at each end and build a shelf on the back of
the layout, use the curved track on board 4, curve the track on board 3,
and add a fiddle yard on the shelf
or rebuild boards with 4
becoming a passing station and 3 becoming an active sandpit with the
existing sandpit re-sceniced as out of use.

Possibly extend by adding more scenic board or having the fiddle yards
at the ends rather than behind the layout

Form a group with Dune Les Blancs, Marquenterre, St. Quentin en Tourmont,
