I am continuing to make a new layout set in Glasgow in an inner-surburban area, a contemporary ficional station inspired by Polkshields East. It will have mrk 3 and mrk 1 catenary masts and will have foliage and a background of tenements which I may paint on the backdrop. I am just working out the clearances on the slightly curved platforms using the simple but effective masking tape and a pencil method. I attached a pencil to the centre of my longest bogie on one side pointing downwards. I then ran the vehicle on the inside curve, with the pencil on the inside and made a line on the baseboard which gave me a good idea of the inner clearance curve. I've marked the outside curve too in a similar way, I now just have to be careful when laying the track to get a nice smooth line.

brillant work

Brilliant, good luck with your layout.

Brilliant very nicely painteded locomotives and coaches, good job.

good to see the progress

good luck with that

I have already removed the rails out of the old sleepers. And I’m starting the process of putting the rails in the new sleepers. That’s all for now gawd beye.

I have prepared the baseboard for laying the track. I’m in the process of making the track at the moment.
