RMweb Gold Cheekyharry Posted June 24, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) Hi I have made myself three separate layout tables,approx 4ft long X 3ft wide,all told its 12 ft long length sitting together.The era is around circa 2000 so plenty of EWS 37s and class 66s,Loadhaul 56 and 60 and a railtrack 121 route learner,all sound fitted.Rolling stock includes BDAs ,forthcoming Cavalex BBAs and plenty of ballast wagons and turbot wagons.What i need are ideas and inspiration track plans etc,want to keep it fairly simple with not many points as wiring them up is not my thing,thinking of a steel terminal to make use of the stock i have and EWS diesel depot.I also want to incorporate low relief buildings and a backscene.Do i just go with a straight layout or a L shape to incorporate curves.Ideally i wanted a tailchaser layout but have just not got the room(a tight loft space) Regards David Edited June 24, 2020 by Cheekyharry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmo009 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Just finishing off this one, 1673 x 442mm, Inglenook shunting puzzle. This has taken around 8 weeks from start to finish, making best use of furlough time. If you go L shape, the curves take out a lot of space. I think a straight layout would serve you best. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
