Not being ready yet to start my next proper layout yet, I have decided to build a micro layout / diorama to get some experience in actual modelling in 7mm scale, maybe try out some animations, and of course HAVE SOME FUN

Hence I have ordered a 3ft x 2ft baseboard kit which should be arriving soon. To fit onto this small space, I purchased some second hand Fleischmann HO track (you know, the type with the infamous 10 inch radius curves!) as I didn't think I'd be able to curve O-16.5 flexi-track accurately enough that tightly! And I have this very simple track plan:

As the track is 4mm scale, the sleepers are very small and close together for 7mm narrow gauge so I intend to virtually cover them when ballasting. However, I found that removing every other sleeper from a sample track piece improved the appearance considerably - as I am sure the sleepers will still be partly visible. So I think today's job will be sleeper removal from all of the track


More details to follow for anyone interested . . .
