mark axlecounter Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Hi Andy, Happy new year. That track plan looks the part and a lot of fun with shunting. Will it be an exhibition layout. Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNP Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) Can we now settle down and follow with interest the building of this layout and Bala Town? Or is there more surprises afoot? I expect we will know this is the final design once a layout link is placed at the foot of the post. Just out of curiousity how do you decide which layout to work on that day? Do you flip a coin whilst having your breakfast prior to descending on TOPS, I must say I expect your layouts start quivering down to their support beams when the main door is thrust open and you are standing there with a bow saw in your hand!!! Look forward to following the build's and seeing the end results. Edited January 8, 2019 by KNP 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
