Work Progress on the big layout - The 13 foot 4 inch 4 board section.

Having added my diorama in Dorset I checked back to see what was last posted about Castell Mawr.

I've probably moved forward enough to post a couple of photographs. This layout offers a 45 foot twin track oval with a scenic substitute for a fiddle yard in the form of two sidings beside each line, these are long enough to hold 2 trains in each although not if running an 8 coach set.

 

Here we go showing the two central siding boards :-

Today I started adding some grass on the level crossing end edging and had a little 'play' by placing some stock on the track.

At my current rate of progress I think there are two more years work on this layout. For those that wish for a big layout, beware of what you wish for. They need several years of work and my track, points, motors, frog switches, point decoders has cost around £1 K.

There's something very pleasing about this - it's really neat work, which I think always shows through. I love the placement of the war memorial, looks absolutely convincing.
