Had to stop railway modelling when I came to Canada, I intend to do one again in the near future but it will have to be small as I do not have the room, so I look forward to seeing this on its journey.

I had planned to build it in my loft, but this seems a much easier idea, gives me enough room to work with.

Yeah I agree, I would opt for the shed given the choice.

Well, here's a small update on this long term project, (made even more long term probably due to recent redundancy!!!!),

the sheds been back up in the garden for a while....

...needs repainting, something nice and bright!!!!

I picked this up from my mother in law for a tenner, she's downsizing and getting rid of stuff so I thought I'd have it. Its about 37 years old but only required a small amount of lubricating to get the loco running!!!!

To help with the planning stage, I've been thru old magazines and found images of stuff I want to incorporate into my layout. I'm not planning on copying them, just using them as ideas. If any of you guys have suggestions for anything else you'd like to see let us all know, if they're good maybe I can use them as well

Not yet, not really at that stage yet, I kinda like the more fluid play it by ear and watch it evolve plan as well!!!

Is there a buffet car? If so, then something that looks like coffee and a curled sandwich please. I can then sit back and watch the scenery glide by. In for this build Andy.
