Westburnham - 1970s-80s / 1930s-40s

 Nice big space there Keith 

 

I’m glad you mentioned recycled doors.

 

i was wondering what the rest of the house hold would of said when they got home today from  buying toilet roll and hand  sanitizer  ( apparently that’s what everyones been doing today) to find they were missing from downstairs.

 

Not me I’ve been playing trains.

 

any particular era.... Dcc ?

Thanks Dan, yes it's a good long run, it'll be 00 analogue and probably a three or four track mainline on one side and on the other a station and mpd, possibly compartmentalised to allow me to use a range of rolling stock, spanning my rather eclectic railway interests from 1930s Big Four through to '70s BR.

 

Fortunately I have replaced the doors throughout the house so the old ones were going spare, rescued from being dumped by our builders!!

 

All the best,

 

Keith

gosh, more than two and a half years have passed since I last said something was about to happen on the new layout!

 

what on earth have I been doing?

 

well, for too long dithering about the track plan, and buying (too much) stuff--a decision though has now been made: to fix up the BR 1960s-80s side of the layout (ie transition-livery diesels and BR Blue eras) using the various kits I had built for the depot area, and a few ready to plonk items I have stock-piled...

 

so this could be it, I have seen the future, here's a taster (in arty B&W):

 

 

cheers,
