SquireBev Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 After a long absence from the hobby in which I've moved house several times, I've been bitten by the bug again, and have come up with a plan for a mini layout that will be able to move house with me. Maintaining the 1950s/60s West Riding theme of my previous layouts, I've come up with a mill siding setting for an Inglenook Sidings plan. The viaduct will either carry a main road, or a main line railway, and will of course serve to disguise the track going "off-scene". The mill buildings will naturally all be in low relief, and will include a long loading bay, and perhaps an engine house. The third siding will serve a local coal merchant, with his yard opening onto the road. The terraced houses will be small "through-by-lights" of the type commonly found in West Riding mill towns. I'm hoping to scratch build as much as possible like I did on my previous layout, and hopefully that will include the battery-powered controller too! Watch this space. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1722 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I like the looks of this. Just spotting your West Riding theme and Brighouse location (and being a 'bander' myself) would there be potential for one of the mill building windows to house the mill's own brass band? Particularly as your local band won the Nationals yesterday? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
