lordhinton Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 hi all as lord street is basically finished (minus a few things here n there) i have decided to start my second layout, the baseboard is 3ft x 1.3ft. (minus fiddle yard) so it is quite small!, i am going to try and use what i have laying around including 2 points and some spare track, the whole thing fits 1 loco the 08 and 2 double bogie wagons (2 coal hoppers or somthing else) im not sure what sort of yard i will do yet but i like the idea of coal as i already have the hoppers and lots of coal dust!, as i said i am going to try and spend nothing at all on the layout and just use what i already have, braces underneath the board will be fitted soon! as well as sideboards. below is the track plan i have decided on that fits! here are two shots of what is there again if anyone has any other ideas i could use the layout for rather than coal/ballast comment below! thanks for looking, i hope you like the idea! thanks dan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc smith Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 A small rail served scrap yard? Though you would need differant wagons. Dave Nice little project - I'm a fan of small layouts, they can be big on atmosphere.... A rail-served scrapyard is a nice idea have you seen Richard Colemans' "Albion Metals" scrapyard layout in this months BRM? There's also a nice feature by him, on modelling scrap wagons & scrap loads..... Good luck with the layout - keep us posted Marc PS. Scrap yards offer a nice variety of wagons and offer much potential for using old Lima/Hornby/unused wagons & bits of scrap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
