Semi ficticious Settle Carlisle layout

Well after many, many  years of started and failed model railways, limited by funds, talent, knowledge and space, I felt that two years ago I had most of these factors under control!

 

What follows here is a culmination of those lessons learnt, many of you will probably argue that there better / different / more pure ways etc but hay ho!

 

The railway is based upon the Settle Carlisle practice, using a goods station layout and lyddle end buildings, along with kato unitrack.

 

I wanted to do a scale model of blea moor as my granddad was signalman there during the war but I figured it would end up being a bit bland, so settled for a station nearby, running rule 1, but under the basis of it might be a preserved railway, or BR Blue with steam specials....

anyway, enough rabbiting, pictures to follow if I can figure the posting and ask away!

Welcome to the S&C Layout section, Jon.

 

I'm glad you decided to post your layout build on here, rather than in the general Layout section. The nutters here - affectionately referred to as Lunesters - are very knowledgeable about the S&C and will no doubt be able to offer suggestions to whatever help you need. If you look at the S&C layout summary page you'll notice that a number of folks are, like yourself, modelling in N gauge.

 

Looks like you've made a good start and the room you have gives you plenty of scope.

 

All the best with the layout.

 

Jeff
