A baseboard plan...

Hello all,   I will soon perhaps start a new blog and re-name my new model railway with a better name but for now my old railway's blog will do.   The picture below is just the baseboard idea. I will again be making a Heritage Railway (or Preserved if you like) layout. Ive got no idea as to if i should have the back as a fiddle yard or have a sort of typical heritage railway cluttered up yard with 2 loops. If anybody can come up with anything...please share! and I don't mind making one of th

The end...or the begining?

Hello all,   Its been ages since I said anything....but I made this recently...   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJ3QSEmsxnY   Yep, the horrid floor based layout with around 5 year old Hornby starter track mixed with a few odd peco bits has been closed. Ive left that house now and Im now living in the cold and wet West Yorkshire.   I have plans for a new layout and if you look out they will be along soon. This will be the first layout have had on a raised baseboard so im rather excited a

A video!

Hey!   I have finally got round to creating and finishing a video. It is a short one.

I have ordered a Peco replacement. The Pannier is still dead and my new favorite loco is my shinny new Class 04, very heavy model but it runs well, if I remember to scrub the track with sandpaper!     Enjoy!

Hornby painner tank issues...

I am very disappointed that my birthday present from 2 years ago has been running very bad this month, and I have decided to remove it from service. The reason being is that it has started to become a terrible runner, and to get it round most of the layout it needs to be at top speed. Now running a GWR painner tank at the top speed on my layout looks very silly, not even the bigger locomotives do that! At a more realistic speed the loco will jerk and come to sudden dead stop. I have attempted to

First Running Day since May!

Hello,   School has got ontop of Moor's Line, but today school has ended for Christmas! I decided to set it up to have some fun! Aswell we have finally started to hunt down the stuff needed to create a baseboard. Hopefully it shall be a L shaped one, witch is also going to be like a table. That is only if I am allowed! This all may be brought to nothing as we might move house soon, which I am hoping will happen as I shall get the whole attic! Pictures of it in action shall be posted!   Not t
