So here we are in a new forum, so far I like the look of it. But then I've only had a quick browse...
I thought I would start this blog to provide a showcase to the layout and various projects being worked on in addition to my workbench thread! I'll also post up progress on various areas of the layout depending which part I'm working on at a given time. Before I continue with showing the current progress of things, I feel a quick run down is in order for any new members to the forum. So here goes....
My Current layout Dragon Steels is a small works based in South Wales, it is one of a few that are owned by private companies. It sees block traffic but also Speedlink feeders associated with the metals business. It also has it's own Wharf to enable Import/Export to take place, access to this is gained by internal roads and ralway lines, of course these are assumed to be 'off scene' from the rest of the layout
The idea behind it came from my seemingly growing collection of various steel carrying wagons, also being OO gauge it gives me somewhere to test any stock which I provide for public running days on the club layout as well as providing a better background for photographing WIP (Work In Progress) models.
Various forms of metals traffic can be seen here, I won't go into details but variety will be the aim of the game...
For now I'll keep it short and sweet.
Here is a link to the old Dragon Steels thread should you wish to see the story from the begining.
