Managed to get some time today. First job was to repaint Pates junction car park a mutch lighter colour. Next job was redo Pates Junction platforms. The first I messed up when drilling the wholes for the platform lights. This time they look a better hight last where way to low or do they?? Sadly ran out of board though will get some more this week. It's not finished but I put some pics up

Mike this is the central board Malvern Road station ( the original board) then to the right was what I built first with great help from my freind Mark. This runs round to form a double track loop back to the north end of the station. To the left you may be able to see the bridge to Pates Junction. This is accessed from points from that loop. Then up and over the original loop. I find it fun to run trains round the loops whilst I concentrate on running the service in and out of Pates Junction. I say service but there isn't one yet. The shed at Malvern Road is what I think I wil replace next. Funny how what seems good at the start months later after seeing other people's efforts Suddenly looks naff. .

glad u like it. There is a few things I will change. Could do better now I've seen on here how to do things properly. I'm gutted I lost all the build pictures I deleted when I reset my I pad. As I'm sure they would have help others realise that if you make a mistake you can simply rip it up and start again. Refine picture up load I will try again. Many thanks Dan

When I'm uploading pics from my iPad im resising the down with the iPads own picture sizer . This is reducing The quality of the picture. Does any body know how I should be doing this to create a qualiy pic. I'd be very great full of any hints or tips. Thank you. As you can see there not coming out clear.

I'm running the layout on a dcc lenz system. As this was with the boards I bought. It seems to work well. Though I'm not using it to its full capacity. Im strugling

I started building this layout two years or more ago. It came about by me buying the Malvern Road part pre built but not working from some body who was a keen modeller a year or so before. It just sat in garage as I didn't know ow or I had any Idea where to start as at that point I had know interst in trains. But that has now changed (for the better). My plan was to change it from a two foot wide by twelve foot long end to end in to what you may call a twin track loop. But it seemed to grow and fill most of the space I had. I then decided to ask elite bases boards to add the Pates junction extetsion. Which they did. They built the extra boards and layed the track. Very help full and a great time saver. Just wanted to play trains at that point.i did take lots of pics as built it as I felt quite pleased at what had been achieved. But sadly lost all the pics when I reset my iPad. I will show a few pics of it today and upload more if any body is interested. Happy modelling Dan

Hi Phil, great to see the layout in action and the quality of the stock you had running at the Cotswold show. Very much apreciate your hints and tips in getting my Bachmann dcc sound 40s to run better. Thanks Dan
