To give this blog thing a try then (database permitting) I'm going to start a blog!
My layout is about 2.25m by 4.5m and sits in the garage (gathering dust most of the time). I started it in late 2005. Trackwork and wiring are about 75% complete, scenery about 5%. I intend to build the layout up as a series of dioramas representing a fictitious route leading north or east out of Manchester. Timescale is the present day, and I can run scale length passenger trains and freights up to 2 m
