It occurs to me that I left a few details out in what I am planning so let me add them on.
I will be modelling in 4mm scale with a optimal layout length of 50' and width of 12' and will comprise of a folded figure 8 track plan. This will be possible as the layout will include the 1:72 gradient that Shap possesses. The fiddle yards will be under the scenic area.
Granted the area modelled will have to be squashed a bit to get it to fit in and at present I do not have a location to build which is why I am focusing on the Rolling stock side of things. I will however work on finalising a track plan.

Rolling stock wise I am working on fitting sound to all my locomotive of which I am almost there.

I am working on recreating a 11-coach WCRC excursion train with Scots Gaurdsman 46115 on that duty.
In regards to this I have modified a Bachmann BSK MK1 Coach to be the support coach for this train. Just like to really thing I have blocked up 2 windows on either side and added the roller doors to either side. Now just waiting for good weather to give it a as-close-as WCRC paint job.

Also most of the way through creating a 15 car KFA Timber train as used by Colas.
These just need weathering and loads which I will show through my other blog - KFA continued
