Andy1975 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Hello, I will be showcasing my layout which is loosly based on Stafford in the late 90s. I am currently installing OHLE to finish off the realism of the layout and then run my modern era rolling stock 'under the wires'. My pictures will show the work in progress and encourage fellow modellers to take on the catenary task in a market which currently is deviod of fit and go products. I was initially hesitant to bite the bullet and scratch build, however due to the Dapol let down it has spurred me on to give it a try! Pics and text to follow......

Andy1975 Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 Hello everyone, thanks for your kind words re my post. I have a few initial photos to share with you. These are of the south of the station complex (up & down lines) and feature both old and new rolling stock. Note the OHLE which is very fiddly and a little costly - but very rewarding when complete. Pictures to follow of the station etc..... Thanks for looking and showing your interest!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a Staffordian and am in the process of planning a loft layout with a track plan based loosley on Stafford. I'm very interested in knowing how you've constructed the platforms.
