i just joined, i have too many hobbies... the story do far..........................
6 years ago i didnt know what to get my lad for xmas, he had all the usuall electronic games so i decided to see if he liked trains! i called the local builders merchant who promptly delivered an 8 x 4 foot 12mm ply sheet and some 2 x 1" to brace it with. i got a couple of locos and some rolling stock along with a bunch of track and sorted out a working layout for him. the problem was it weighed around 40kg and he couldnt move it, it never got used. we broke it up.
so 2 years later im at home after a bike accident and decided as i had loads of time on my hands i would try again....
the lesson learnt from the previous faliure was weight.. so i decided to go the complete opposite and used 6 x 3 foot 3mm ply with 1" bracing and went n guage..... you can lift it with your little finger its so light and very strong..
so i started the model, after 6 months we had to move, i got a garage, 6 months later again the garage was empty of our stuff and i comenced work once again, 6 months i was back at work and work on the model ceased....
6 months later again we had to move, we bought this time and i didnt get a garage... there was no where to continue with the model, so it sat up against a brick wall in a small shed. 2 years later (now) ive noticed some damp penetrating and im upset, i dont know what to do, ive been hanging on untill i can afford to build a garage. but im considering selling it, but then i dont think its worth anything now, there must be £300 woth of track on it?
so i thought i would post what ive done and see what you guys think.....??

























i designed it so with the points in the right direction the train can travel along all of the track, there are 3 main loops 2 with doulble stageing, and 1 that can loop around the higher section.
and thats about it...........
whats your opinion
