Where to start?

For starters, my layout is a single track loop, early BR and I'm not entirely sure where it should be based. A lot of stuff has been recycled from my previous layout, and has been made to suit this layout, for example I have taken the double road Metcalfe kit engine shed, and made it one road and shorter, and as you can see below, I have installed lighting in it.

As I am fairly new to modelling, the detailing will not be brilliant, but I am trying my best with this layout, it may not look the most prototypical, with building styles etc, but to the trainspotter "muggle", it will look realistic. At the moment I am working on the goods yard area of the layout, and the part which will have the most activity

The backscene is from my previous layout, and by the time you read this that will have been removed :no:

Looks like an interesting track layout.

 

May be worth starting a layout thread as well.

 

Keep the posts coming.

 

Cheers,

That's ok.  Now's the time to start.  If you look on the Layout and Workbench content on the main page there's a link for Layout Topics and you can start a layout thread there.

 

Your modelling looks good and there's plenty of promise in this layout. What you've done with the engine shed shows that.

 

Don't be afraid to post as we've all been there and made mistakes.  I always think it takes a lot of courage to put your work up on here for people to look at.

 

There's always plenty of help and advice available too if you need it.

 

Be positive as well-your layout isn't a 'nightmare' either.  You're modelling and it should make you happy! ;)

 

Cheers,

Another way to create one is to click on the arrow right of your user name in the top right corner.

 

A little menu pops down, click on "Manage Blogs"... Bob's your auntie!

 

Cheers,

Keep the reports coming - like modelling, practice makes perfect - and never hesitate to ask advice (although you'll get a better response on the 'modelling questions, helps & tips' forum - which in any case can be an interesting & enlightening read!
