Hello everyone,

I havent posted on here before so this is all a bit new to me so excuse me if not all objects appear in the right places! last year I decided to design and construct a model railway and have always been attracted to the idea of running steam with BR blue stock, this limited me to a very tight time period of 1967-68. As a result I have put allot of research into the locos still exisiting in this period. My location is a small seaside town that is now suffering from a loss in buisness due to holidays abroad becoming very affordable, and the trend in seaside holidays droping off. The trade has dropped and only the regular holiday makers and holiday makers who travel by train return to the town each year.

The layout is a exhibition layout and consists of a 6ft by 3ft scenic section split into two 3ft square boards and a fidle yard/ traverser behind the scenes, I decided on these sizes as im not keen on spliting of baseboards to much as i feel it detracts from the viewing pleasure.

The baseboard is now complete and I will show you progress from here on and keep you up to date.
