couple of updates, started working on the town, ive painted under the town area to stop any light from showing in the tunnel, just in place atm to give a feel. I used polystyrene to make a shape first, then got it cut out :)

anyone got suggestions for hiding the gap between the tunnel mouth and the city level?

cheers :), that line and the one on the other side are going to be main lines to a future project, an excuse to allow me to take over a room from the missus ;), the one under the town will be a tunnel based one, the other will be open.

an unusual addition to the fleet, 5 peco modern engine sheds :) bought 3 new, had one in the loft and got one second hand off the net. The 2 on the left need abit of work but shouldnt be too much hassle. Was thinking of having 3 x 2 engine yards next to each other to accomodate 6 locos and the 2 on the left doubled up to cater for DMU's :)

Those are the sheds I'm looking at getting. Although I might have to hold off getting five :D

Looks good.
cheers, Mark.

VERY nice layout!

How good a model is that InterCity 225? Is it nice to look at and run?

I'm thinking of going N-Gauge myself and a 225 in InterCity livery is something that I must run. I already have it in OO Gauge, but that'll be useless on a N-Gauge layout :(

abit of a change, im going to get everything up and re-design the track. Alot of track laying effort has gone in, but i have bitten off more than i can chew, and also i tihnk there is far too much track.

New track plan to follow later tonight

new track plan...what do you guys think in operation wise? I intend to build an expansion layout underneath the layout via a helix in the far right, where the points seem to have no track attached. But that is a future project after i get this one done ;)
