Hi guys! This is my new model railway, it's WIP and I just wanted to ask what you all think of it ! This is a modified TrakMat, but will have two spurs to a mainline which goes all around my room. The main line will be known as the Deb Moors line (anagram of Bedrooms) and the terminus station will be known as Stir Soot Road (anagram of Door to Stairs as it's hopefuly going to go to the door!) In the middle of the loops will be a fairly industrial town, and the small single track siding you see in the middle of the loops is just like a goods terminal, fenced off by a concrete fence to the town but accessible by workers via a gate. At the back of the railway where the third loop moves away is where a standard and island platform will go, with a footbridge connecting them.
Thankyou all for the very nice comments ! Tacking the layout down is taking up alot of time at the moment, and aswel as my Virgin HST I am hoping to obtain an Inter-City Swallow livery HST as that is how I remember them. Hopefuly a BR Blue class 40 with central headcode and a Jubilee (if anybody knows where I can get Leander in LMS Crimson Lake livery let me know). On top of that does anybody know any good places to obtain industrial buildings like mills with large chimneys and large 1960s tower blocks?
Thanks guys! I'm having a bit of trouble with ballasting, and have looked at the tips on the home page of this site but still find it hard, does anybody have any pointers?
Just a little update to say the name has been changed to Atkinston (after my last name, Atkinson) and that in April I will obtain a Black 5, 4F and 3 MK1 coaches. The cardboard stations are currently being built and a bridge is being planned, photos to follow shortly.
how does the HST handle 1st rad curves? and is your scotty the 4-6-0 like mine or the 4-6-2 that everyone seems to have? the carriages look similar to mine, where did you get them from?
