spenc Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Hi everyone Now i have gone back to 00 gauge i thought i better make a start picked up some bargains from Hattons & our local toymaster.I still have three baseboards two 6ftx1ft & one 4ftx1ft & some track,points.The layout will still be North Devon based clay works and passenger platform at home it will be fiddle yard board & one scenic board at Exhibitions it will be full size 16ft it is end to end.The passenger station is a though single line to a fiddle yard at both ends. So there will be 9ft of scenery. Locos will be 25s,31,33.DMUs,Waterloo portion & a 03 i know its not right for North Devon but i like them & it will be just right for the clay sidings.At the moment all buildings are just placed on & the back scene will be coming off.Heres some pictures feel free to comment.

cromptonnut Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I wish I could work that fast! We moved today and all my stuff - all gauges - is in boxes in what will become the modelling room but sadly there are many, many things ahead in the "to do" list than starting to build my new layout. One of the things I need to get done is to actually settle on a track plan... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
