After moving out from under the roof of my parents a few months ago and basically being layout-less (the horror!) for that time, I've finally got my rear into gear and am building myself a new layout. Now to those of you who have seen my layout in the past you'll probably be aware that I have gotten used to quite a large set out (See Mumford for example) but now, I have drastically downsized to this;
As you can see it's a bit smaller and simpler than my previous endeavour.
The plan is to create a station with 3 Platforms (Up, Down and Bay) which then leads off onto a long embankment and bridge before heading into a cutting and tunnel. Should be easy right? Well one thing that'll make it a lot easier is the lack of electronic, yep, this is just going to be purely a large - static - photographic scene, which for me will be fine, as it'll give me a chance to work on my other hobbies - photography/film making.
But today I hit it, and I went for it...ish.
I made new platforms, nailed the track, painted the track and started to ballast - which is yet to be held in place - on the Station board - I'm yet to get the wood which I'll build the raised track upon (got the board though :p ) - way too many dashes in this paragraph.
I intend to continue making headway tomorrow (with the current resource I have - many recycled from my previous layout) and with my new shift pattern, this should hopefully fly by (famous last words)
Cheers for now
Ben.
but now I should hopefully have plenty of encouragement, maybe)
