Looking really great, the card building kits certainly are effective.

Haha, I think it would be a more appropriate name

Thank you, it's fairly basic, but I've got a bit more room to play about with now at least.

I'm in the process of getting rid of all the set track and exchanging it for strea...

I think they both count lol, mind you,I'd love those sizes to play with! https://i.ibb.co/k6xJDSf/DSC-1284.jpg https://i.ibb.co/9Ygz2V6/DSC-1283.jpg https://i.ibb.co/KVt0H1m/DSC-1282.jpg https://i.ibb.co/JFGmHsd/DSC-1281.jpg https://i.ibb.co/nj0NPKx/DSC-1285.jpg Currently playing around with some id...

Haha, sounds like a plan, muns you, feels much bigger than the layout I had in the corner of bedroom!

Thanks Rob for your time, you've given me a lot to think about. It's a bit easier to visualise now the tables up. I might have to give up on a shunting yard, I just don't have the room if I want any real scenery.

Arm, most of my buildings are Oxford rail (birthday and Xmas presents).

Started building a new baseboard today after we had move around in the house and I've been given the smallest room as a play room.

Boards nearly done, but first I think it's time for a cup of tea.

This should give a better idea of what I'm playing with. This should give me a bit more space to play with. Tinny room for a bedroom, okish for layout (well, better than before).

The door is 1" from the right side of the wall, it comes out 28"

Both those look very good, are those points round the station really required? I could probably get a longer platform removing those and having them on either side of the track (rather than in the middle). Move the table so it's coming off the 5th track.

That would certainly be a shout.

Ahh OK, I was originally thinking of replacing all the old track with streamline. Defo replace all the straights/bends with flexi.

Standard, they are called non-isolating points. I'll defo have a play about with those plans, the room size is a pain, still better than the 8x4 in the corner I had! It's a shame, we have a fairly large shed garage in the garden, but as we are renting, I'm not paying to weather prove it. I'd need a ...

Nope! I bought the bachmann ones when they were on offer at Hattons, all electrofrog (and only £6 a pop). Thank god bachmann and Hattons had a tiff.

Lol, when I first put it on the 8x4 I had been wishing I had gone for n gauge tbh. I've been really scratching my head about what to do. I had thought maybe having a station on the top left corner, going round to either side (so I can fit in 5 car trains). Down the right mayge bring the track down a...
