    Right, so here's my current N Gauge layout plan for y'all to get excited about. I am currently having my baseboards professionally built (the benefits of employing a carpenter). The layout is going to be a scale 1 mile section from Burton on Trent station to Wetmore and will have a scenic section of 36ft. Obviously, this is not going to be a quick build but it's long been my dream to build this section of line (I grew up on the Midland Mainline). The first 16ft will be constructed first so it can be used, while the remaining 20ft is then constructed.
     
    The south end hosts the station, most of which will be off scene and the North end will have the light maintenance shed and private sidings. The era will be early 90's.
     
    Control will be DCC, with prototypical signal sections etc.
     
    If anyone has photos of the area (any era), I'd be interested to see them.
     
    Overall Plan 36ft.

     
    Baseboard 1 - 4ft x 2.5ft.

     
    Baseboard 2 - 4ft x 2.5ft.

     
    Baseboard 3 - 4ft x 2.5ft.

     
    Baseboard 4 - 4ft x 2.5ft.

     
    Baseboard 5 - 4ft x 2.5ft.

     
    Baseboard 6 - 4ft x 2.5ft.

     
    Baseboard 7 - 4ft x 2.5ft.

     
    Baseboard 8 - 4ft x 2.5ft.

     
    Baseboard 9 - 4ft x 2.5ft.

    So last night was spent in the cellar, tidying my workbench ready for a whole day of weathering on Monday. It's always good to have a tidy occasionally, but I'll be the first to admit, I don't do it often enough. It's amazing what you find!
     

     
    I found I have five different airbrushes and several hand build 4mm points.
     
    I'm tempted to use the points for a small depot layout as I also have some baseboards (10ft x 1ft) that have never been used for the intended project. I may set myself a challenge to build it in two months?
     
    So Monday, I have a respray to start for a friend, a Hornby Class 31 into EWS (31466) and weathering of my own Dutch Class 37 in N Gauge.

    37035 Weathering

    By BurtonWetmore,

    I've started a seperate blog to document things on my workbench that are not to do with The Building of Burton Wetmore (my layout project), which can be found here: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/blog/1182-building-burton-wetmore/
     
    So here's the first entry, 37035 a Cardiff based machine in the early 90's suitably airbrush weathered. A 'fresh out the box' version sits along side for comparison, which will later be renumbered as 37092, another Cardiff Tractor.
