this is now starting to come to life. Its been through so many different planning stages over the last 2 and a bit years; they are in the layouts in planning section for those who care to look.
The shed that this layout is been built in is 9.75 meters long by 1.1 meters wide, that's right, 1.1 wide. The layout it's self is between .5 to .7 wide; so no room for a fat controller!
The fiddle yard is on the lower section and is reached by 2 helix's at both ends. The scenic St Davids will be on the top (obviously). Due to the space I've taken the liberty of moving the traction yard from its position in the south by Exeter panel signal box to where the new yard is in the north. The boards in the top pic are just in a loose position so I could get a feel of the actual height they will be and my available space in there.
There's also a potential break out on the layout to exploit a run out in to the garden in due course, 2020 probably the way I'm going
Sorry its not much more than some random shed pictures at the mo, but in time this might serve to be the record of the build, (hopefully).
I'm working on each point costing £26, that's the point, DCC module and motor. I have 43 on the lower level; and 35 on the top. Plus 150m of track, excluding the two helix.
