Cardigan Street, 00 gauge 1200mmx400mm

Yes, this is going to be my third layout!

Only doing it as I had placed an order for a baseboard which I then cancelled, but due to a mix up it was still sent out to me.

I offered to return it as at the time I wasn't home to refuse the delivery and it got signed for before I got the message informing me about the mistake, but they said just keep it.

So I am going back to the plan I had in mind before I built the much smaller Deadend Lane 

 

This is based on a 1200mmx400mm board

 

 

 

and will be a variation of this

 

 

I am planning to have an elevated track section if I can squeeze one in, it all depends how much space there is once the bottom section is done.

Track will be a mix of Peco set track and streamline for the point work.

No solid plan as always so will be making it up as I go 

The name came to me just before I started watching The Simpsons on C4 so lets' see if any clever people can figure out the choice of name.

Made a bit of a start, got the points down along with the bits of set track used to join them together.

The rest of the sidings will be made up of flexible track.

The 3 way points are quite funky, never seen quite such a complicated looking point before and took me a minute to work out each direction on them.

5 power feeds in so far with 4 to go, then just need to connect them all up and hope it works
