class58_md Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 After many moons browsing this site and been in awe of peoples work i have started a thread of my own on a small layout i have just started My interest in railways started in my early teens about the time sectorisation was just kicking off and BR blue and railfreight red stripe were begining to fade out... then as mid teens arrived my interest wained as other things garnerd my attention! My dad has always been a modeller and has a large 00 50's era layout in his loft some years ago during a spell of unemployment my passion for railways was rekindled after spending some time with him playing trains on the mentioned layout This got me thinking about one of my own after several failed attempts and numerous trips to exhibitions i have settled on fazley road (working title?) A modern image working in a APA box influenced by some cracking layouts on here! Work will be slow as ive a young family so therefore progress wont be quick but please bear with me as i hope to finish this one! Martin 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sun VI Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Good for you. A micro layout's a great way to dip your toe in the water without committing a load of cash and space. Wishing you success. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Alex TM Posted October 21, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 21, 2017 Hi Martin, Welcome to the world of RMWeb. Intrigued to see what you make of the APA Box, and how you make it work for you. Already like the industrial backscene; how did you do it? Good luck. Regards, Alex.

class58_md Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 Hi Alex Thanks for the welcome the back scene is from gaugemaster it only covers the top half as i plan to use low profile buildings to cover the bottom probably a mixture of scratch built and ready made?

class58_md Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Been some time since my last update and quite a lot has happened Fazley road mk1 is no more!! Following a lot of issues with the 3 way point installation a rethink was in order? I had a spare larger base board stored in the loft so I decided to use this the track plan will remin the same except the 3 way will be replaced by two standard ones the larger board also allows an integral fiddle to be included which the older layout didn't have so all in all its worked out for the best! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
