Camwader Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I had a model railway layout as a child which I enjoyed greatly, but moved on to other things, and all the Marklin treasures passed down to my brothers and probably ended up in a jumble sale. I have struggled for many years to resist the temptation to start railway modelling again, only because I have so many other unfinished projects on the go, both modelling and real world. After visiting The Great Electric Train Show at Gaydon a few years back my resolve failed, and I’ve started accumulating stuff for a planned, but as yet unstarted, layout. In the mean time, the railway stuff has been consigned to the garage. I’ve got a set of working test rollers in there so I can enjoy my DDC sound equipped locos. I’ve no idea when, or even if, the layout will ever become a reality, but I enjoy playing with what I've got so far. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme H Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Like you I had a layout, still got it, but packed away, and probably not run it in 20 years, some excellent modelling there, is there a build log, and what scale are you doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camwader Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) Graeme, The layout I'm planning will be a 1/12th scale representation of a model engineering society club layout with 7 1/4" gauge and 5 1/2" gauge tracks. The 7 1/4" will use OO rolling stock at ground level, with the 5 1/2" using N gauge stock on a raised track. I've got loads of 1/12th scale stuff that will fit in - classic cars, bikes and tractors. The beauty of this type of layout is that it doesn't have to be period or location specific - I can run anything that I like. The garage scenes are 1/6th scale with OO locos. There's no build log - it's all just spur of the moment stuff that's in there for quick photo. Edited April 17, 2018 by Camwader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
