Hi all

I have been working on this layout for a while. I am on DC still but I might convert to dcc later. At the moment I have 4 rings and a basic incline.
Comments welcome

quick update,

I got my 2 dc controllers that yesterday.I can now run 4 trains at one time.I have also started building my tunnnel this will be covered with something at some point. At the moment I have sacrificed the points from the rings for some sidings.

Superb stuff there! keep it coming! i like the tunnel work, are you going to have a removable section for those moments when locos and stock like to leave the line?

That incline looks similar to what I have done, but none of mine will climb it with any more than 2 coaches.

Same here, I find that the old airfix locos are the best

quick uptate,
I have now started to paper mache the tunnel, which should look quite good in the end.If anyone was wondering the line going around the back will problay become a little station.

Quick update,

I have done quite a lot of paper mache stuff recently, I am now saving up for the rest of the track i need, and maybe a few more locos, he he. One day this will be a southern layout.

Hi. That looks like a well built layout you have there.

Is the paper mache "real" or the powdered stuff? It looks a bit neat around the edges to be glued newspaper or similar. I used some of the powdered stuff for the bank of an incline and I found that it expands and shrinks lots depending on the temperature - by about a centimeter on a bank height of 5cm. Thus on hot sunny days a crevice opens up at around the embankment.

Hi I mixed some newspaper and water until it was all mushy and then tipped some glue into it, then you can move it around to how you like it. I didn't use the other way. It does take a very long time to dry though. (I have got some mould on a peice of it, can't be a good thing!) And it shrinks.

'ello all, progress on my layout is going well, I have made a station platform area and but some ballast on and some grass mat stuff. Pictures taken with my new camera. woo! I have nearly finished 1 bit of the layout and that bit is in most of the pics (the tunnel).
