Mikie6034 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Hello all! I was told to set up a thread for my model railway! My first ever exhibition layout, and I'm going in head first! I've decide to use finescale track (no idea which one yet) and scratch built building which I need somone to do with me with the rough sketches I have! I got my inspiration for the 2mm gauge highbury colliery layout! And I've decide to do it in 4mm and adapted to my own, but using the same type style buildings! I will try to upload pictures ect of progress and a track plan as soon as possible! Thank you for looking, Mike Sent from my iPad, sorry for any mistakes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie6034 Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Here's a picture of the board! Doesn't look to good from the angle but should be finished tomorrow with legs! And a front too..!! Forgot to attach the photo! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie6034 Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Some pictures from today! Thought I'd lay out some normal Hornby track to show the track plan! I plan to have buildings at other end which the track will go into for the wagons(will be like warehouses) Some colliery buildings and other bits! Any ideas?

Mikie6034 Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 Looking good now! I've decide to use bulk standard oo gauge track as I found finescale would be too much! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie6034 Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Started the ballast today! Should have weathered track before though.. Silly mistake! Might consider getting those woodland scenics track pens? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenton Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 That's coming along nicely. Any reason for removing so many sleepers at track joins? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
