Adamphillip Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 right so I have my OO layout in my office and I thought that i would start a topic on it. it has a 4 track fiddle yard under the station area and is based off of a plan by C.J.Freezer called Umberleigh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cary hill Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I thought I was off to Axbridge, Somerset for a minute but no matter, CJF's Umberleigh plan is a good one.It will be interesting to see how you update the plan from a Wessex steam era plan to a more modern Kent plan.

I was at Axbridge, Somerset when I had the idea for some of the buildings, and the line might just move there if i want because somerset has some nice beaches, I mainly wanted to move the location to kent because of the NSE and class 92's from the euro tunnel.

Adamphillip Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 off to the shop to get lots of gaugemaster preballested underlay (ouch thats expensive maybe not then) and some grass Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSLR Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Bags of ballast and watered down PVA with a drop of washing up liquid is the cheapest and best way although if you don't want it to be permanent put a layer of grease proof paper under your track before starting. You don't want the underlay stuff because it rots after a while. (if you look carefully in some model shops there will be a bag of dust hanging up somewhere labelled ''Hornby right hand point underlay'' or ''Peco Underlay'' ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSLR Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 It's your choice and there are many opinions on the subject. Although personally I use cork tiles, which are available from most tiling/diy shops.I prefer to use the tiles and not the cork roll which you can get because the tiles are easy to cut to shape and don't curve, where as the cork roll is hard to cut, rolls and curves up all over the place.One of the chaps I knew liked to use the hard foam stuff although like a sponge he had problems keeping it level.
