More trackwork and new toys.

Well i've survived christmas so now back to modelling, My family were all very generous over the festive period and i've now got a lovely rake of TARMAC JGA's and a Freightliner 57 (I wanted the chassis for a RES 47). Whilst out today shopping for handbags i managed to slip into the local model shop and grab a couple of points i needed to complete some of the upper level trackwork, It looks a little strange in the photos but hardly any of it will be visible when complete with scenery, both the 57 and 66's are sitting in what will be the mail terminal and i'm going to disguise the mainlines behind some sort of office block about 6 inches back from the signal.

I'm having to add pointwork in all over the place at the moment and have found that in doing so i'm opening up all sorts of different operating moves which i find quite an enjoyable part of constructing a layout, never been one for sticking to a trackplan. blogentry-6774-12620348369744_thumb.jpg

Also had some of my brothers stock over for a run, very impressed with the 150.blogentry-6774-12620350867532_thumb.jpgblogentry-6774-12620353222212_thumb.jpg

Looking good and like you're having fun. This sort of layout really shows the benefit of N, round and round without looking like it is with some great operating potential and space for urban scenery.

Cheers james its getting there slowly, its difficult to picture how much track you wont see when its complete, What i'm aiming for is trains to appear in places you wouldn't expect and only see them for a short space of time then to re-appear on a different level or direction.
