They will be placed on the board at the weekend and hope to add at least one ( possibly two) fuel storage tanks shortly too.

Now attached

Whilst continuing to procrastinate over DCC my young daughter mocked up a rough model of the depot to start to give the layout more of a 3D feel.

This looks like it promises to be a lovely little layout Look forward to seeing it’s progress.

Thanks Robert. I’m desperate to run some trains but going DCC for the first time and want to get it right which means I’m literally making no progress as don’t know where to start! I think I might dress the boards with some locos to see if that inspires me!

Final attachment for today is the view from the end of board three looking down to board two. Board one will join the left hand side of the board at the far end from where the picture was taken.

My photography isn’t brilliant so here’s a view of the middle where board two and three meet. Apologies, just realised that it’s upside down!

So this is board three, which is already attached to board two. This will be a modelling area for my son. The bottom end will have a through station, yard and stabling point.

So this is board two, joined to board one in the bottom left hand corner. This is the Depot board. I appreciate that it’s big and complicated, and breaks at least one basic modelling rule, but it’s what I want!

So this is board one of three, the terminus station. I am tempted to add a hidden storage sidings to the top part of the board running parallel with the station. This will join board two which (if it appears in landscape) will join at the bottom left hand corner. Apologies, photo quality is poor due to present storage situation.

If anyone can explain how to add photos that would be great!

Evening All, Long time lurker, thought i’d take the plunge and share the beginnings of what I hope becomes a reality. I’m modelling in OO Gauge, and growing up in the 80s spent many a weekend all over the country chasing locos with my Dad, with the North of the Border being a particular favourite and inspiration for my first serious attempt at modelling. I have already amassed a number of running stock and my youngest is keen too so it was time to put my track down. I’m hoping to attach some photos of the initial work as soon as I work out how to upload pictures (particularly as I have some questions for those more skilled and knowledgeable than I). My time is always extreme in terms of commitment to modelling, and then not, so I will likely have days / weeks / months of posting diarrhoea, followed by equal amounts of time with no progress at all. Please be kind and constructive. 50002Superb

Hi Andy, do you have a thread for your layout? I've seen you make reference to it a few times but not come across a thread for it? Regards 50002

Tomorrow is its last day of opening, no railway stuff left. Such a loss
