Yeah I purchased all three, but although they show an overview of their layout and methods of weathering some of the scenery, it unfortunately doesn't include a detailed track/layout plan

https://www.studioscotland.com/buildamodelrailway This is the film I'm referencing, its an excellent introduction to the hobby and as a beginner project goes the operational opportunities are particularly interesting. I especially like their main yard/station table, and have started an attempt to recreate the layout in AnyRail. I'd love to see a full breakdown of track and scenery objects used. Does anyone know if they have published the track plan/full layout anywhere? I scraped through the website and found nothing, and the title of the film is ambiguous enough that a google search came up crickets. Thanks in advance!

Hi folks, I just stumbled upon this wonderfully active community and thought I might pick your collective brains to help me solve a challenge I'm currently facing. I'm an expat living in the US, and just recently got into the hobby. I designed and started building a layout, based loosely on a Woodland Scenics layout kit (the Grand Valley for anyone interested) but significantly expanded in scale. The theme revolves around British era-5/late crest BR. I'm at the stage where I'm permanently laying and ballasting track in parts, and until now hadn't actually put much thought to the code. I originally went with atlas HO code-83 because there was a track pack for the Grand Valley layout. I believe that historically speaking, the most popular code was 100 in the UK, but for aesthetics many people are going with code-75 as it's more true to scale. My question is; since I'm going to be using mostly British rolling stock, machined in the last 5/10 years, other than not being true to scale and not looking as good, am I going to run into any issues with code-83? I'm concerned about stability of the locos on the track especially around tight radius curves, the reliability of the electrical pickups, and performance over frog points and such. I guess what I'm getting at is, should I just scrap code 83 in favor of 75 before it's too late?
