Admittedly I didn't have to build all my track like you finescale nutters! That and trying to fit 2 full days a week in the workshop has certainly helped progress. Just hope it looks half as good as some of the 2mmFS layouts on here. Looking forward to the next installment of Avonwick. Have started paper planning of next few boards and am thinking about Brent- has anyone done it?

Just got a Lenz compact to run the layout with. I know it only has 2 digit addressing but with a maximum of 2 locos running at once I can live with that. At least it can read and write CV's which other options in this price bracket can't. NCE powercab was my numer 1 choice but can't get one for sensible money. The Lenz system is also very expandable. Now I just have to chip my 1st loco and I can run some tests.

Hello

Im loving the look of this so far. As Kris says its definately got some nice flowing landscape to it. There are so many layouts around that have so much crammed into them its almost like they do not follow any sort of prototype but this is one that definately doesnt fit into that category. Please dont overcrowd this one as it has so much potential. Its a big selling point of N Gauge / 2mm which is so easily overlooked.

I will take that advice- I have been looking carefully at both your layouts as they are the kind of standard I am aiming for. The original line snakes and flows through the landscape and this was the single most important aspect of the look for me, so I'm glad that its looking "right" to others! The only stuff thats going on it is what was there originally, field boundaries are coming off the pre-war OS map and station is strictly to prototype. My brother is hopefully doing the carcasses for the buildings on CAD (haven't told him yet!) which will help.

I'm just pleased that people whose skills are proven as yours are approve! Just need about another £200 to drive it forward. Sadly I'm not getting any more done for the next 5 days as I have to work, but will post as soon as I can.
