A layout? surely not!

Well this has always been a tricky issue, why? well I cant make my mind up!! I have a few pet scenarios spread over 4 timeframes all GWR or BR(W)


  •  
    Paddington C1906, well something round the back anyway, Bishops road or the goods depot
    Paddington C1970 similar scenario to the above but with all those lovely hydraulics and parcels stock
    Winchester C 1930 Didcot Newbury and Southampton Rly, half the station not including the goods yard
    Winchester C 1948 but with Q1's and T9's as well as an ancient Duke
    Ashburton 30's the quintessential GWR branch terminus

(Un)fortunately I have items of rolling stock to cover all of the timeframes!?  one of the problems is the long time frame for a 7mm project, and coupled with my short attention span it makes for 'strategic drift'. I flit from one to another as the mood takes me but I really do need to nail it down other wise I am just going to end up doing nothing.

Still on the bright side the S7 GE mafia hasn't got to me, I can't be bought, unlike some eh, JB :lol: :lol:

Those are excellent layout ideas! I've often toyed with the idea of Winchester too, as part of my general liking for the DN&SR. And there was that amazing 4mm layout of Winchester by the Southampton group that was described in MRJ.

 

That said, what would really make a difference would be Paddington 1906! That would be truly amazing (even if it's only Bishop's Road!).

I have always liked londons railways, paddington I'd a fasinating place, I have collected quite a few sources over the years, it must have been an incredible place at the height of the Edwardian era, so much modelling potential. BTW I like your ideas for small layouts.
