At long last, I can make my 009 layout.

Hattons has the wired 009 track and can ship track, books, locos, and rolling atick internationally, just not glues and paints, so getting the trackwork and buildings is easy, I plan to get some pre-crushed shale and slate from my local garden center, which is close to my job, so I should be good, I will model some slate mountains too, part of the layout will be rabbit warren style.

Hi Sir H,
I look forward to seeing some pics as you go! OO9 has fascinated me for life, but as I've got older, my dexterity with small items has become a bit of a problem.
Can I ask, what size base board are you planning on?

Pete.

It's gonna be a decent size, haven't figured out the specific dimensions of the baseboard, but I know it'll probably be a while so I an get the funds built up to get everything I need.

Deja vu ? (Can’t get the accents on my phone!)

Well, it's not as impossible now since I have a job now, I just gotta save up some of them and plus since I'm doing a slate quarry I'm waiting mainly for the r-t-r Bachmann 009 Quarry Hunslets to be released as well.
