RMweb Gold cambo74 Posted March 23, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 23, 2020 So whilst I spent the whole weekend working, have decided that with this impending lockdown, then what better time to build a small 12x1 TMD Layout to play trains with ....... Have had the boards made up for a long time but today have finally decided on a track plan and have commenced painting of the edges prior to track laying ..... No specific region or Era as plan to run everything from BR Blue Diesels to the latest Freightliner Orange Class 90s ( to together obviously before anyone says .......). Have taken a picture of the proposed track layout ..... Now just waiting for Track and Cork underlay to arrive and off we go ...... 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold cambo74 Posted March 24, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 24, 2020 Ok so track arrived today and wasted no time laying it for a little play ..... not fixed as awaiting the cork sheeting to go underneath but here's a few pics from a Scottish Themed day .... the beauty of a TMD is that you can change it to model any region / era .... watch out for some up to date liveries appearing soon ...... 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold cambo74 Posted March 27, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 27, 2020 A bit of work on the layout today .... cork matting added and track pinned down ...... Probably won't do much for the foreseeable future as could do with boxing the layout in with a backboard and sides - need B&Q to reopen so i can sort this ......... In the meantime at least I can play trains and do more bits on my workbench thread .... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold cambo74 Posted April 5, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 5, 2020 Not much to report sadly as need some more wood for the backboard and with B&Q not offering the wood cutting service it leaves me stuck a bit..... will use the time to plan the scenics ..... I have the Bachmann Scenecraft Servicing Point arrived and will be ordering the Railway Laser Lines 2 Lane Depot Building when its back in stock - this should prove a nice little item to build and will certainly be taking my time with it ..... In the meantime, I took a few pics of various bits of stock on the layout - specifically some lovely Scottish Region stuff .... 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

porkie Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) Only just come across this thread. And really like what you have done so far Ben. I have to admit that I also like the fact that you can run what ever era want having a TMD layout. Keep the updates coming fella Phil Edited April 10, 2020 by porkie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnight-Freight Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I like the look of this so far. Your baseboards remind me of mine in shape and size, although I have three slight smaller ones, they are also resting on what appears to be the same Ikea furniture! Will follow now.
