    Been tinkering with the old trackplan after suggestions and came up with this:
     

     
    I still like the two lines in and would invite comments as to what they could represent...maybe a truncated main line...???!!

    Old New Trackplan

    By Grafarman,

    Here's the old trackplan I unearthed - done in MS Paint about 7 years ago so not to scale (or even close!):
     

     
    This is after some fiddling about; on a previous plan the engine shed was accessed via the turntable alone...still doesn't seem right though...I dunno, maybe 12' x 2' in 2mm would do it...?
    The premise is that this is a station in a small/medium town having been closed and now revitalised by a Heritage railway group for preservation...the goods shed and coaling stage could be used as workshops for the group or even as a modern demo of "days gone" or something...
    I've always liked preserved lines, especially as I've spent quite a bit of time (and money!!) at Llangollen and Haworth over the years...
     
    Opinions/Constructive criticisms welcome !!

    People and Plans...

    By Grafarman,

    Decided to take the plunge and order six sets of Bachmann 2mm figures, ranging from Shoppers to Construction workers...Cheltenham Models sold them at £4.80 a set so bit of a bargain really...
     
    Dug out some old trackplans of an end-to-end Heritage Railway (preserved line) I'd been doodling on a couple of years ago - funny how viewing the layouts on RMWeb inspires you...maybe it'll happen, maybe not...no harm tweaking the plans tho'

    Spent some time over the weekend populating Llanybarachel with the new Bachmann/Farish range and some I had left over from previous layouts, mostly Modelscene packs A + B which my Dad painted...
    Layout has a bit of "life" now, albeit artificial
    Some pics will appear on main topic thread....

    Have been trying to find guidance on applying the stuff found in the "bag-o-bits" which comes with Bachmann/Farish locos, namely the Black 5, 108 and 150 DMU's. Flying Pig very helpfully gave me copies of the printouts that were supposed to have come in the boxes but didn't, but I still can't see exactly where to put everything. I emailed Bachmann only to be sent the exact same printouts, which was no help whatsoever...!!
    Please can somebody point me in the right direction to find a picture of a completed loco with details attached or a diagram to say which bit is what etc...I've tried searching the site but haven't found anything yet...
    Thank you !!
