meowenuk Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) After much badgering from George T I’m launching out into the unknown! Whether I manage to keep it up or not remains to be seen!For some years now I’ve had a layout in the garage comprising a running loop and station/sidings down one side. The limitation has always been the radius of the curve at 4ft. Having recently visited Andy P I’m now seeing the attraction of end-to-end especially when combined with DCC.The photo shows the East end of the layout with the original three platform roads on the left extended now that the running line on the right has been curtailed into a head shunt.The next step is to mask the track ends with an over- bridge and extend the island platform on the right, courtesy of George T, I hope!

georgeT Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Hi Mark, You are up early as well then, glad you made the effort to get on here at last, all the badgering paid off Hahahaha, once we have the over bridge at the end of the tracks in the station it will open up the area 100%....

What is the size of the section you have shown there? Look forward to seeing more in due course! Thanks for sharing, David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

south_tyne Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 (edited) About 6ft David. Here’s the view in the opposite direction. Smashing thank you for replying. It looks really good with plenty of operational interest to the trackplan. Edited August 28, 2018 by south_tyne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
meowenuk Posted September 18, 2018 Author Share Posted September 18, 2018 Progress a bit slow on this project but progress none the less! Planning an over bridge with station buildings on to hide the end of the layout. As ever master modeller George is overseeing this construction! Note the addition of a 'blue sky' back drop since the last post. Mark 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritishGypsum4 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Sorry to be a pain. Can I ask what the overall dimensions of the layout is? I have an attic space in which I am trying to come up with an acceptable track plan... One which might be end to end with a 16.5/0 on the other side of the attic. In the first pictures I like the look of the track plan and the shed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
