    Midland Mainline HST 125

    By Pembo,

    I spotted this on eBay and couldn't resist, especially as i've not seen many about, and I prefer this livery to the other one Midland Mainline used.
     

     
    Apparently it's in great conditon and runs well. Looks like its time to get looking for some more carriages!

    Hey All

    By Pembo,

    This is the blog for the N gauge layout i'm constructing. Its based on a small, fictional town on the midland mainline and set in the early 00's. I'm limited to a board sized 3" by 4" but on that I hope to include:
     
    Double Track Mainline
    Heritage Branch Line
    Shunting Yard
    Tunnel and Bridge to allow the lines to cross over.
     
    Keep checking back for updates
     
    Cheers

    Baseboard Plan

    By Pembo,

    Displayed Below is the Final Design for the layout. It consists of a double track mainline, with a heritage branch line in dark blue on the inside and a shunting yard in light blue. This is all designed to fit on a 3" by 4" board. All track is Peco, with the outer line using 3rd radius curves and the inner mainline using 2nd radius curves. this means I can generally run whatever rolling stock I want.

    The Destruction Begins!

    By Pembo,

    Okay, due to my car being broken into i'm home early. So i began to rip up the track on my baseboard to make way for the cork sheeting I plan to glue down onto the entire board. Pictures to follow.

    The Main Offensive!

    By Pembo,

    Due to having my car being broken into i've come home from uni early. This evening I've made a big push and made some progress.
     
    I stripped the board of all the current Track

     
    I laid cork sheeting down over the entire board.
     

     
    Drawing the outline of the track onto the board.
     

     
    Landscaping Begins! I'm using Woodland Scenics Plaster Cloth to make the inclines leading to the bridge. I'm also planning on making some hills in random areas to add some depth.
