Hi All
Having started out with Chagford layout, in a circular format, inspired by Mark Fielders Pizza layout. I have discovered that whilst this works in narrow gauge, due to the lack of buffers, in standard gauge it does not work.
I am now pondering a more traditional design, similar to Mayfield Street. The layout would use an offstage cassettes to simulate one end of the loop and another for the Dairy Sidings at the other end.
My aim, as with the previous circular design is ease of transport, by bus and train, as I don’t have or want to own a car. I currently considering using a plastic container which has length 400mm height 120mm and width of 135mm. All of these measurements are internal ones.
My design aim is to get the complete layout, complete with its cassettes and facia to fit into the above box for transport. I envisage fitting this box into a holdall for ease of transport. The plastic box keeping the layout dry, despite the small amounts of moisture that would get inside the holdall.
