In the previous entry, I wrote a breif discription of the story behind the layout and I also attatched a basic track-plan just to give you a rough idea of what it'll look like.

 

So, down to the nitty-gritty...

 

I breifly mentioned that I had been working on the base-boards recently. Attatched below is a diagram in plan-view of the board dimensions:

But, anyway the base-boards - and the 'Sky Blue' painted back-boards are actually now complete, as of a fortnight ago. I'm currently getting on with the painful task of constructing the retaining wall structure out of ply. Once that job is done, I'll bring the layout inside, from the garage into the front-room where I can get on with sorting the track out. The current trackplan, attatched in the last entry, isn't for definite but it'll be something along the lines of that.

 

Jobs to do:

  • Complete retaining wall
  • Cover retaining wall is brick-effect paper (CGTextures)
  • Build low-relief warehouse back-scene, sitting on retaining wall
  • Lay track
  • Test
  • Ballast Track
  • Test
  • Build fiddle yard
  • Test
  • Build lighting unit (for exhibition use). This will probably be a seperate, bolt-on wooden structure. It will also carry the layout name-plaque, etc.
  • Scratch build the buildings
  • Do all the scenics (scatter / static grass, trees, etc.)
  • Some other finishing touches, etc.

More updates to come. Progress pictures also coming soon.

 

Ta for now.
