A lot more work on this in the last few days. The roadbed is Midwest cork roadbed. I'm using chicken wire and plaster for the scenery and working pretty hard to get the basic benchwork and terrain done as quickly as possible. I'm also spending a bit of time researching scenery for these. It will be split into two zones, one a sort of Williams AZ style, the other more along the lines of Needles CA. Next up, plaster cloth and maybe some rock carving. Edit. The pictures seem to be reversed.

Hi all, summer has hit New Zealand so I've been using my annual leave to make a start on a new layout. This is a modular affair built to a Freemo standard a group of us developed several years ago. That means I get to have fun at home but also take this to meetings. I've built the basic modules (improving in design a little on the previous modules I built for the group). The set up gives me a layout to run trains at home and something that can function for the group layout. Mostly I just wanted something simple so that I can concentrate on the actual modelling of the scenes which is the bit I enjoy the most. The progress below was made over the space of the last five or six days. These will be set in the California/Arizona desert, but I'm fairly open to making changes. Thanks for looking!

This is a wonderful layout. Really inspiring. Makes me want to up my game.

Amazing layout, thanks for sharing.
