I have noticed that I have not created a thread telling you what my layout will look like.
My layout mesures 8ft by 4ft 6inch and it is locted in my bedroom in the loft.
I am not mesuring any pacticular era or period but I am trying to keep to steam locomotives.
It has a double oval with a tunnel which will cover a dark corrner of my layout. It will also include a large locomotive and goods yard and an of scene area with a turnatable and sidings for my Class 08 shunter, my M7 and Smokey Joe.
It will have a large station which I will build out of a number of Metcalf kits and maybe a row of houses also built by Metcalf.
On the top of the tunnel their will be a small wood and a Farm which may be abandond but I am not sure about that yet.
The Layout will be able support 6 coach trains which are on test on the layout right now.
It will be controlled in a 50:50 mix of DC and DCC so I do not need to worry about decoders emeidatly after buying the locomotives.
It will have a controll desk which will be part of the behind the scenes area.
When I come round to wiring the layout up, which should not be too long as I have just finished laying the track I will fit DCC operated points so I don't have to streach into the layout to change points. The point decoders will be either placed attatched up side down underneath the board or in the controller area.
The point moters will be placed underneeth the board to avoid having to buy point moter houses.
I will keep you updated as the layout progresses,
Jacob
