Hi, this is the start on my very first blog, this has come about during my time studying & admiring other peoples great efforts on the RM web, I have decided to stop sitting there and become more constructive with my time and join the ranks of the RM beavers who like to share their skills & woes with other like minded people.

 

Having had a number of baseboards ready for my layout, I have had too many false starts & change of mind whilst lying awake at night thinking about this and that for my proposed layout, the false starts have come around due to my over complicated track plans, and a definate lack of planning and over ambition on my behalf.

 

I have finally come up with my desired choice, which is more or less drawn out, this has been set to oneside, whilst I get the basic baseboard construction set up completed, this will hopefully stop any waining or distractions on my part. Also the spare bedroom is full of the household items that live in my layout room, so having promised my Wife that once I just get the 2 corner baseboards together, I can put all that junk... "sorry" stuff back in "MY" room, this has to been done as we have Family Friends coming on Thursday, a bit of pressure makes you perform better in my eyes.

 

Anyway I shall learn how to take pics and upload them onto the blog this week to give you an idea of what I hope to create in my 22.5' x 8' loft area.

 

Craig.

Welcome to bloggers corner!

I too have marvelled at the work produced by others here and have learnt alot. Planning makes a huge difference, I would never have done half my layout without construncting it entirely on paper first. I found using a prototype of some sort as a base helped as it stopped me going off at a tangent and gave me the initial formation of track etc.

Post some pics of board construction. What sort of control are you using?
