Over the past few months, I've been constructing the baseboards for my new exhibition layout called Almere Road TMD. The project began when, a few months ago, I felt like putting a small, compact, cheap and hopefully simple exhibition layout together. I've always been interested in the 80s/90s era of diesel traction and so I instantly chose to model small, fictional Traction Maintenance Depot. The name is made-up but I imagine the scene to be set somewhere in the South of England. As I've said already, I've always been interested in the 80s/90s era of diesel traction and the majority of my stock is in the Railfreight Distribution Livery. So in conclusion, the layout is a compact model of a late-80s - mid-90s era Railfreight Distribution Traction Maintenance Depot. As I've always used DC (and quite honestly haven't got the finance to enter the DCC world), DC is for definate, despite the fact that it's very outdated and not quite as ideal for exhibition exhibiting as DCC is.
The plan (attatched below) comprises of an Engine / Maintenance Shed, a refuelling facility, a wash-plant and possibly a wheel-lathe shed. There is also a small storage siding.
For a lot more info on the general information on the layout please take a moment to visit the larger website dedicated to the layout... I'm primarily using RMweb as a blog 
Updates and progress pictures to follow.
Ta for now
