Right well so, someone suggested that N Gauge Setrack was perfect for an HOe fiddle yard... Next time I got anywhere near a train shop, I walked out with the N Setrack starter set, a GWR autotrain and some goods wagons...

Playing around for a few evenings, both with that and my HOe Austrian sets, made me think that N gauge is real possibility! I'm not so good at building small structures, but there are many pre-made models, so that's alright.

Now as for the layout, I saw a layout called Pucklechurch in a magazine, and liked the layout. Playing around for a bit, I realised it could be enhanced by adding an extra goods siding. Slowly this is getting built and some pictures will follow soon as I've worked out how I can do this! I've decided to call it Knucklechurch, and is supposed to be somewhere between Gloucester and Cheltenham around the nationalisation era.

Knucklechurch is, however, only a stop gap. My thoughts are already planning the next project (maybe this is why I've got so many trains, in boxes, around the house?): The Oxted and Westerham heritage railway.... A complete and utter fiction that will allow me to run anything I want really....
