Hello ladies and gents!
First post on the forum, I will be creating a small layout for my own fun, and who knows, maybe it will get exhibited if I get enough interest!
This will be my first ever proper layout, I used to have a large layout when I was younger however it had 0 scenery. I know very little about modelling so this will be a massive learning experience for me!
I started with track and building I already owned, including a couple of metcalfe kits, I purchased a few extra of these to add extra buildings.
The layout will consist of several of these 1.2x0.5m boards so that it can easily be stored and transported. This is simply the first of many boards!
The idea is to do this on a budget, as I am but a poor lowly student.
Anyway here's some eye candy in approximate chronological order!
As you can see there was very little planning, I just sort of started!
First section of the main building!
Main station building with platforms as yet unballasted
Got some ballast down! platforms have also been glued down and tunnel portals added
Portals finished and two houses added!
Added some grass that I had lying around and a random tree in a box, but the effect looks good!
Added a retaining wall and a car park, I hove how this little bit looks!
Just a beauty shot
Added a retaining wall to the other side
Next I hope to get a signal box in, and a bus station down the front!
