Well last summer after our annual local exhibition my other half bought a Bachmann 009 WD 4-6-0 Peggy !! I must admit I was unsure about this being an N gauge modeller and also into G scale !! So it sat on the coffee table for a couple of days everyone inspected it and commented on how fine it was !! Then it was given a run on a test track on the coffee table . What a runner okay I was getting interested . So in the next few days I went and bought a ROCO HOe starter set with Henschel 0-6-0t and some wagons and oval of track ,controller etc . So on to the coffee table for a play !! Okay what a runner ! So the following weekend off to the local model shop (Rhuddlan Models ) ,and some open tub wagons were purchased !
So there the background now to the layout ! Well its a metre long by 36cm wide . Baseboard is two layers 5mm foamboard and plastic L Pieces as a frame bonded together with industrial superglue I can obtain very strong stuff takes no prisoners not like certain proprietory make ! The layout is a fictional harbour set in North Cornwall somewhere on the Camel estuary it was built as rival to Bodmin and Wenford line and also as branch to Delabole slate quarry all pure fiction !! So the first building a rebuilt Wills engine shed ! Next the painted shed
