Well, after much messing about and numerous redesigns, I've actually got something to show!

I did the usual thing of trying to cram too much into too small a space, then sat down and actually thought about what I actually wanted.

This layout was supposed to be small and simple purely to run my OO locos on, it didn't need anything else.

So I removed all the sidings apart from one which will be hidden behind the back scene, as this was only put on so I could have a straight piece of track to make it easier to swap locos.

Everything else is just 2nd radius curves.

I also wanted to try out a few things so the baseboard is 10mm foam-board, with lots of wood added to the frame for support.

I also wanted to try the woodland scenics foam track bed, which I have to say works very well.

It deadens the sound and creates a nice raised track bed.

I used the Woodland scenics foam glue which also works really well, but dries VERY fast!

Cheers

Ian
