Beginning at the beginning, or at least sort of.

The old RM Web contained a few of my hestitant steps to actually build anything. Layout wise, the usual trials and tribulations of moving house had reigned in my ambitions for the last year or so. In this blog, I will revisit some of the half started projects and hopefully see them through to fruition. (anybody remember 'Superpannier'.. watch this space!)

But first, a layout, or rather, a diorama...

Inspration: Taken last summer from the useful vantage point of a Dragon Rapide biplane, Victoria Bridge on the SVR.

My good friend and long suffering ex colleague, TomE, on his blog, is attempting some sort of complex swing bridge contraption, as a small scenic layout aimed at the simple amusement of watching trains go by. This is going to be a project on a similar scale, with a scenic section the width of a chimney breast, on the wall of my office.

Victoria Bridge in N gauge, works out at around 40cm long, in case you were wondering.

Wary of taking on a bigger project that might never get finished, the plan is for the finished article to look something like:

So, the next steps, laser cutting, carpentry, figuring out how to make trees, might be interesting!!

Stay tuned (but bear with me if it takes ages!)
