For the second time the layout have been sold.

I've been in touch with the present owner who is sad to see it go, however it seems the third owner is excited about having this layout.

Hopefully the new owner will continue to show it off on this site.....

It's well over a year since I sold this layout to a young chap and it was only today when I found out this layout is up for sale again because the current owner wanted to concentrate on a smaller layout and changing from OO to O gauge. If you happen to be interested in this layout, have a look at th...

Hey

How's it going with the layout? Have you done any work on it?

Its a while since your last post - I was wondering what has been happening since then?

Looking great! You've done well so far. You'll remember me from my OO gauge layout, Welton, that was sold last year because of the house move. I am now in the middle of designing a new layout, and guess what? This time I'm going for n-gauge, a new challenge for me. I hope to do as good as yours! Wil...

Hey hope you can help me with one issue - its about using radius for n gauge. I am toying with the idea of having a N gauge layout, but am looking into ideas of what I could have on a layout before I decide whether to go for N gauge, or stick with OO. I was wondering if all n gauge steam and diesel ...

Thanks for the comments guys. I am aware of how difficult it may be to work on the layout if it was above the waist level, ie to be able to reach the back of the layout, but as I am planning to make the layout portable, I don't think it would be a problem, because I can take one or two boards down a...

I strongly feel that for an exhibition layout it should not be shown at a normal person's eye level, it rules out all those who have to use a wheelchair or electric buggy, not to mention kids. What you do at home is up to you, at exhibitions a height of about 110cms is about right. The answer for t...

Hey! I'm planning a new layout and cannot decide whether to go for OO (using rolling stocks from my old layout, Welton) or to do a new challenge and go for N gauge. The new layout will be located in one of the bedrooms. I plan to have a portable layout, so that I can perhap take it with me to exhibt...

Hey Matt,

How have you been getting on with the layout? Any new progress?

Paul

Hi Paul I had the same problem so i moved to N and never regretted doing so mind you it took about a year to get a N gauge eye :D so take a good look round the forum for ideas,also a plus if you want DCC most of the new n is ready to put a chip in and you can get sound as well Kevin Sharpe Thanks K...

If I were you, I'd go with the large n-scale layout, and make a smaller 'shelf' layout in 00 scale so the 00 stock can be run now and then - this could even be kept underneath the N scale layout, out of the way. Unless of course, you have so much 00 scale stock already that you don't want to go to ...

Hi Paul, Your last layout was fantastic, it had a very realistic look to it. When I was younger I used to run OO stuff, and I remember seeing the N gauge rolling stock and thinking that wasn't for me. Now however the N gauge locos and carriages and wagons are just fantastic. The detailing is very f...

Hey, its a while since you heard from me! No doubt you've all been waiting to hear from me with a new project. Its now a month since we moved into a new house and I've been doing some DIY etc, but it hasn't stop me thinking about my old layout, the Welton layout, now with the new owners and what I w...

Wow, they look great, you're certainly doing a good job with it!

I look forward to see how the layout develops!
