    Slight change

    OK, yesterday evening after posting the last entry, I went to meet up with fellow members of the Stroud Valleys Model Railway Club. We are currently homeless so we have to meet in a convenient Pub, life can be tough. Anyway someone suggested that I make the station twin road, so having played about with XtrkCad, the placing of a set of curved points has been added, image V2. I will need to make some minor adjustments to the track placing to allow for this, but then I am only using the cad drawing as a guide and not as an engineering drawing. The weekend beckons, and hopefully we will have the track bed, down and at least some of the track laid and soldered. :icon_rolleyes:

    Noname Wharf

    Having been a member of RMweb for a while, and not posting much, it seemed a good idea to coincide the start of a new layout along with my signing to the updated forum. Noname Wharf (a working title), is set nowhere in particular. It is actually going to be my 10 year old sons first proper layout, he doesn't count the double oval Thomas and Percy mounted on 6 x 4 chipboard. The design, as set by mini-me is as follows;- Diesel power, end to end, the fiddle yards are not shown on the track plan. It must have a station, served by DMU, a canal, Engine fueling point, warehouse/ industrial scene and a small town scene with a garage. The beginings are 2 4ft x 2 ft baseboards, as can be seen from the picture the track will be at a higher level than the scenic section. The navi's have been hard at work, the Canal cutting has been made and, I am pleased to report, with no fatalities. I'm not aiming for a prototype, just something fun for me and mini-me
