The First Blog Post.
Good evening,
Hello, My Name is Brad, I'm 14 and my first ever layout Is Called RAF Warmwell. The layout is set In 1941 in the heart of WW2 In Devon.(By the way, google RAF Warmwell, its a real place, but I'm not basing it off it, I just like the name ) I was originally going to model a heritage railway yet I didn't want to fall into the stereotype of "Your a young modeller, so you are doing a heritage railway" so I combined my love of trains, and WW2 planes and somehow managed t fit it all on a 7ft x 2ft OO Gauge layout. I will provide some photos, but I need to tidy it up first, so for now I will describe it. from east to west you have my bedroom wall, from which I have a bridge and a ramp providing a scenic break to a non existent fiddle yard. the bridge has a road going over a single railway, yet the bridge is double track. I did this on purpose so I could fit some 009 Track adjacent to the OO line. heading over, we have the main RAF Base, which takes up a majority of my layout. there is no runway, that would be off to the south, yet this is jut the plane stabling point, big enough for 4 spitfires and a bleinhim (Which im now building) and a small concrete strip playing host to the control tower, and the supplies & vehicles. just north of this strip, is a 2 track sidings and goods yard, which plays host to both OO and 009 track. north of that is the single platform station, only big enough to accommodate an auto coach + 48x. heading west, we have the only Road n the layout, with two level crossings, one 009 to the south and one OO to the north. at the far end of the layout, we have a church, yard and station halt in the foreground, and behind the line we have a small hill with house on top. the track is Hornby+ Peco, with insulfrog points, DC control. if you have an questions, please comment and ill be happy to answer. Happy new year!
