    Here is the annotated version: One quick thing to note is that the dimensions on the side of the diagram are in cm. There will be a halt station as seen in diagram 2

    So here is the initial proposed track plan. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
  3. luke the train spotter
    Good idea.

    I have another layout other than the one in planning and I want to paint the fascia black. I've got the paint ready in a tin but I really don't want to ruin the appearance by mucking this up. Is there anything I should do before I put the paint on?
  5. luke the train spotter
    That's it! Thanks.
  6. luke the train spotter
    Look super!
  7. luke the train spotter
    Thanks everyone

    Just looking into other potential baseboards and I seem to remember people building layouts on thick light blue/pink boards of foam. Can any one remember what it is called - it would be very helpful?

    I really want to exhibit the layout I'm currently planning and it is one of my life goals I've not managed to achieve yet.

    Love that name. that sounds like a good idea and not to expensive either. Your layout looks really professional! I would never believe that was built for £150

    These are the ones from lidl Just realised that morrisons also use them from time to time.
  12. luke the train spotter
    I get them from lidl and they normally put strawberries in them. I will go and to a picture of them now

    Sounds good. I've looked into cheap tables but all don't fit my needs so I have settled on using re-enforced wooden supermarket fruit crates. These are made up of thin mdf and are a very standard size so very easy to glue together.

    For loco ash in my mpd on another layout, I used real loco ash collected from grosmont mpd on the nymr. Little big to scale so crushed down a touch.

    Well building a layout for £100 is an ever increasing challenge with the price of everything model railway related going up in price. budget model railway really brings the hobby back to its roots.
  16. luke the train spotter
    I plan to keep the layout costs around a £100 but I'm bot going to be as strict as some modellers. Might exceed the budget by a few £s but not by loads.
  17. luke the train spotter
    Must say that I've got my eyes on that. Only half the price as a Bachmann one. Also quite like the Hornby sentinel.

    Put this thread under a new name so please follow the link: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/124418-my-£100-layout-project-in-oo-gauge/

    That is a great bargain! Probably going to use code 100 though so the flanges on older stock wont clip on the rail chairs.

    Hi all, this is a new thread of one of my previous topics. As the title suggests I am going to try and build a layout for £100 which is a challenge for any modeller. I currently model for just £10 a month and enjoy (and hate most times) the challenges that it presents me. This £100 layout challenge will be set in a modern image suburb/industrial area and will be dcc controlled or analogue controlled.
  21. luke the train spotter
    They all look very professional. Well done.
  22. luke the train spotter
    good to hear that someone else has used the method i'm going to use. I'm also keeping my eye out on any skips as builders throw out all kinds of great modelling resources.
  23. luke the train spotter
    here is the annotated track plan as promised. please let me know what you think down below. thanks.
  24. luke the train spotter
    sounds like a good idea. I currently have the idea of making the baseboards out of fruit crates which should be interesting. they are pretty robust, free and seem easy enough to glue together as modules
  25. luke the train spotter
    Hi all, here is the initial track plan as seen on the anyrail software. will post an annotated version soon. Thanks.
