Thanks, the layouts coming along nicely, the baseboards been built and the trackplan is just about sorted. I'm planning to scratchbuild a cattle dock, unloading/loading platform, goods shed, stores shed and guard/entrance building at least.
So I got back form Cornwall today and the layout is safely stored in my room (which means my cat is banned from in there) I think I've come up with a trackplan for now, although it is confusing to look at the pictures due to the un-cut flexi track. I'll be getting the layout working at my club due to my inexperience and the fact that the members would know what's wrong with it if it doesn't work. The layout has been based around my Bachmann Ivatt 2mt and 4 wheeled wagons also from Bachmann (such as sand tipplers, cattle wagons, etc.) The baseboard legs fold easily so the layout is flat when being transported. The board is 12mm MDF with 34mm Pine (I think) supports all around the edge. If you have any questions, please say so as I've probably missed a couple of points!
I'll be playing around with the track when I get home from Cornwall. Then when I'm happy I'll take it to my club and I'll get some help wiring it up. After, I'll start to mark out the scenic parts. I'll be posting pictures when my baseboard is finished.
I'll be playing around with the track plan soon on the baseboard as I prefer to have a physical plan rather then paper or computerised. Then I'll start to plan the scenery around the track as I don't want to plan to have a scenic feature and then find I haven't got enough space
