Thank you for this info I will be sure to add it as little things like this add to the detail and I was not really going to use the bay's for running anyway. If you do have any more memories like this or pictures i would be grateful. I am trying to find picture references as much as possible and have a few but not in great detail of the bay's and sidings.

This is great to see thank you. It is nice to see that my plans are nearly right to what your picture shows and if I can get anywhere near to that I will be over the moon( or Cairngorms lol). Do you have anymore pictures?

I Terry I chose aviemore as we spend our time there about 2-3 times a year and it has a nice variety of stock through there over the years. Most of my stock is from the late 50's as you know but I may use a little 70/80's stock as if nothing has really changed in the way of the track layout. thanks Ben

A few pics of progress so far...

Hello just a quick introduction to my blog that may take a few months/years to complete. I have been had lots of false starts in n gauge for years until i finally finished my end to end layout last year and wanted to start a new larger layout. i could blame carl woodward and vale of oxbury that i have helped exhibit with carls sound loco's and excellent modelling skills. Anyway this layout is 12 x 3 foot in n gauge using code 55 track.This will be fully dcc wit use of sound locos. I am using track plans of Aviemore station dated around the 60's whilst it was still a fairly busy junction from Perth to Inverness and Grantown on spey. I have changed the layout in places so i can fit it on the boards but the basic plan is there. I have found a few pictures and referances to the location but if anyone would like to offer any information i would be grateful. The following pictures are just a start as i plan out the track etc ready next for raising the track bed and wiring. Anyway i hope you enjoy seeing any progress made. pics will be upoaded once i can get them on.
