Billy Flathead Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Hello Real names David, Billy is one of our cats and the flathead is in the photo. I have been building railway models on and off since my teens but never actually completed a layout. The current layout is in an 8x6 shed along with two work benches, drawers, shelves, unimat and bike so space is tight. Progress is very slow, I am easily distracted by wagon and loco kits and nothing gets totally finished. I will try and post some photos, but most of my models look better from a reasonable distance. I am interested in most things on rails, but mainly Barnsley area, so Midland, Great Central, Hull and Barnsley. Cheers David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Flathead Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 The layout curves from one corner to the opposite corner and will have outside extensions. 04 is 63656 from Barnsley. Station building is Pickburn H&B. Bridge hides hole in sky to outside world. I have not worked out how to add photos with text between them. Cheers David.

Anthony Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Hello there! Just a word of support from a fellow end-of-the-garden modeller who suffers from many of the same afflictions as you - there are just so many things to make, even if you don't really need them! Mainly ECML in my garage, but I do keep on getting distracted! Also, it can be a bit lonely down there, so stick with it, and remember as you plough through the mud in the pouring rain - that it is all fun! Go for it!

Billy Flathead Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 Thanks to all of you for your words of welcome and encouragement. Here are three more photos then I will start a layout topic, maybe it will be a kick up the backside to make some progress. Loading dock and goods yard. N5 with a short coal train, N5 is 69320 from Barnsley. Cheers David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
