A beginning... at last!

Ok, so where to start? I've been messing about for ages, armchair modelling, building Parkside kits, modifying coaches, chipping locos etc. etc., but apart from a circle of track on the floor (for running in purposes you understand!) I've not had anywhere to actually run trains.
It really was about time I did something about this. Time is limited due to work, chores, cycling, football... you get the idea, so instead of attempting to build one of the grand plans we all have I've finally decided to start small, and build myself an Inglenook.
Apart from being something I can actually run trains on, it will also be a test-bed for ideas and methods I want to try; the plan itself is in Templot, and the turnouts will be built using a mix of C&L and Exactoscale parts, to DOGA fine standard, using SMP for the plain track.
The turnouts will be operated using memory wire, and the P4Me-style couplings will be operated by (hopefully!) home-made electro-magnets.
More, with photos, to follow shortly...
