The First Steps.....

Having said I'd probably not be doing tooo much to this project... Well I just couldn't resist! Having spent most of the day on carboard mock-ups of the 'Ambridge' baseboards, I needed something different. Plus it gave me a chance to try out my new avatar, coutesy of Paul Martin from the 2mmSA. Several inches of snow (which kept me at home) also helped! So what progress today?

 

1st - renewed m Association membership (its that time of year!) E-mailed PM following BCNPete's suggestion - result at top left! Ordered 5 5-plank PO kits + chassis & wheels etc from the stores. Then decided I need a track-panel to try them on.

 

A quick blat with 'Templot', doublesided tape to hold it to the ply and then attack rail & sleepers with a soldering iron. I've been 'lurking' in 2mm for a coupl of years now - almost made the change from 'N' to '2mm' - but went for 'EM' instead - so I have got gauges, rail etc

Just got to wait for the wagons now. Still it will give me time to research the liveries in use at the quarry.

 

Right, back to 'Ambridge' and the 'Big Big Trains'!

Hi Julia -

My hope is that I can get part-way to your prowess level! Don't want to let the Association down...

Hmm there's another problem - looks like you can only use one avatar, & if you change, it affects historic posts as well. Might be confusing with having two layouts 'on the go' in different scales. I'm confused, let alone anyone else.
