My N Gauge Layout

[ste234]

Hello, this is my layout, i have had it for some years now although im only 15. its on a 4x2 board and uses mainly modern running stock, although i do have a few steam loco's. i havn't added anything to this board like grass or trees etc as i am planning a new layout when i find the time and the money i will start it. thanks.

Hey, I like your layout - you've got more than I have and I'm nearly 20!

I'm jealous of your turntable

haha thanks, i have had it for years and i do have loads more loco's, but they cant fit on the board, and the turntable is just one of those peco ones, but i dont have a motor for it so i turn it by hand

[ste234]

Hurrah for platforms! I got mine in the post today as well. Lyddle end ones.

Nice layout you have there and good selection of buildings. Are you going to do any landscaping to the baseboard? I found even painting in some green for fields and some roads makes a huge difference to the look.

Thanks Chris, im still not sure whether to do any landscaping, as i am planning a new layout, i mite use this board as a "test" board. I might paint some grassy areas and maybe a road... sounds like a good idea just deciding what shade of green to use etc. which did you use?
Thanks,
Ste.
