so i have been thinking about rolling stock for this layout (which is more like everyday), after attending some shows i have come to the conclusion to keep interest i need a few different locos to keep things changing and moving.
i wanted a little steam shunter. this layout will never be 100% accurate and is not based on what actually happened, its a model its more what could have been. i want to build something that pleases. i want to produce something that looks as if it could of happened.
next up for my layout was something for the harbour, i wanted a ship and instantly started looking at battleships, these where clearly far to large. so i decided on a vosper motor torpedo boat.
the Airfix kit was a great little kit to build, i would highly recommend this kit. i haven't really built any airfix kits since i was a child so this was a nice build.
this will be perfect i thought but, if i want my layout to be of exhibition standard then i need to go over the top on detai
so there is no stopping me now!!!!
first track down, first PCB soldered to the rails. just waiting for the glue to dry then i will be able to test.
the soldering is not pretty but it seems to work, (im still learning, this soldering lark is still new to me.)
so sector plate update....... well its been a long few days with some issues.
i started off with cutting the PCB board to size, this went very easy, so far so good i was thinking.
next was to tin the rails and solder
hi this is the start of my layout build thread, i hope to update as i go but it will be a slow build due to two young children. sorry if you have already seen this as it is alson on another forum.
i have started a new project, my large loft layout has taken a back seat.
i have a old bit of wood left over from a previous base board which i decided i would build something a little different on.
the board is 96 inches long by 14.5 inches wide.
my vision is to produce a layout and fiddle yard
