    Thanks for the kind words. I haven't started a thread for this one, maybe I should 🤔 Alex.

    Hi Mark, Thanks for reminding me of this project, I've just trawled through an old phone to replace the lost images. This layout found it's way to the bin around the end of 2019 as I didn't wire the electro-frog point properly. It simply didn't run well enough for shunting back and forth. I had tried to replace it but it was unsuccessful. I've built multiple layouts since. Here is my current layout, very similar with a single point. It is yet to be completed. Cheers, Alex.

    Like Mark, mine is lit from the front. Just a 1 meter strip with sticky backing and extra glue to hold it in place.

    It's an Australian EMD T class, built for the Victorian railways. Model by Auscision.

    Layout is looking good. As for LED's I went for the warm white option. Originally I had cool white but that gave off a blue like glare that didn't suit the scene well. The one pictured on my layout gives off 1250 lumens which to be honest, may be a bit too bright, but it'll do. I run the two wires straight to a dc plug in the wall socket. Hope this helps. -Alex

    I've allowed space for both tracks to be connected to the fiddle stick, however, its more to simulate that something else is happening further down the yard. I think the illusion of this helps give more atmosphere to micro layouts.

    Thanks again for your kind words. The scenic section of the layout is 71cm with a detachable fiddle yard approx 60cm salvaged from an old layout, which is more than enough. I sourced the back scene from a company called haskell, it has an adhesive backing. The track plan is indeed a single point with a single track siding next to it. As requested, an overall view; I have the layout sitting on an ironing board which keeps my Modelling table free. Many thanks, Alex.

    Thanks for the kind words. Some more photos; I still have a few little details to add here and there, such as people and goods for the platform etc. I tried a lot of new things with this small layout, my first attempts at weathering and blending ground covers. Cheers, Alex.

    Hi all, I've been using this forum as a source of inspiration and general browsing for many years now. Having had a lot of false starts, I've pushed myself to finish building a layout. So here it is at only 71x21 cm. Set in Victoria, Australia. Sheepyard creek is a fictitious goods only stopping place. The idea being it was part of a station that has been shortened and on its last legs of operation. Thanks for looking. Alex
