i find it quite hard to keep up with myself, i'll post an idea or a plan on here, then completely neglect to update because im so engrossed in buidling whatever it is im building. so this time im going to try be a bit less distractable and actually keep a regular record of my latest frankenstein.

i started building a small layout, made a baseboard on the budget of £0.00...

skips really are your best friend, you can find quite lengthy offcuts or boards that have served their purpose to the builder, simply ask whoevers around "mind if i take some wood out of this skip"...free baseboard

problem was, i started small. laid some track, ran some trains and thought

this should be bigger

so i rummaged around some more to get free materials, built a baseboard, laid some track, ran some trains and thought

this could be bigger

see a pattern emerging? i need a plan

i havent done anything modern image, but ive found myself strangely drawn in its direction. its been done before i know, but im going motive power depot. with a lean towards the repair facilities, all based loosely around Neville Hill, Leeds. keep it local. typically the most used rolling stock around me and the one i most want a model of doesnt exist, so im looking for a suitable base to create this...
