The proposed model is not based on a prototype. I have a lot of admiration for modellers who create accurate representations of real locations and often find them the most interesting layouts at exhibitions. Part of the enjoyment for me however is to decide what I want and where I want to put it. I do however want to create something that is at least credible; allowing for space compression!
I have spent much time studying other layout plans, internet resources and experimentating wi
A short list of best intentions I would like to adhere to for the layout:
Diorama presentation controlling the viewing angle
Continuous backscene with curved corners
Effective hidden lighting
Lightweight rigid ply wood baseboard
Analogue control - too many N Gauge models of the type in which I am interested would be difficult to chip
Peco code 55 track
Mechanical remote point operation
Only large radius points
Try to get the colour co
This blog will cover the development of a very small diorama type N gauge model railway. The subject matter is to be the ubiquitous Great Western branch line terminus. It was chosen due to space restrictions, some existing stock from a previous layout years ago and the wealth of information available on the subject.
It is a pilot scheme. If time allows, all goes well and my re-kindled interest from childhood actually results in a finished working layout then I may progress to somethi
