So the background to this is last year I built an N Gauge Layout 'Santa Julia' that was themed mainly in Spain with the odd visiting loco. But I've had a change of thought and am in process of changing it to an early 1980's British Rail Railblue era theme. I'e sold all of the Spanish stock and have started on the UK side of things.

I have a blog at http://railblue.blogspot.co.uk/ where I am posting regular updated to along with my photos from the 1980's - Present day and this Blog also contains some TOPS reports from the early 1980's so you can reminisce about the abundance of locos in the North West in particular.

This is the track plan I've used up all the 50 pieces I'm allowed in the trial version of Any Rail 4 but you can get the gist A connects to A B to B. All track is Kato N gauge Unitrack and is powered by one Kato controller. I can only control one train at a time but find this enough as there's only 1 of me. There are plenty of isolated sections in the form of sidings and point switched that can store one train while you move another.

There is a single road shed to the bottom right and a long platform on the inner line with an Island platform on the outer line bottom. There are hills to the left and right and a beach scene to the bottom left.

The town occupies the central area.
