Hi Jordan, i love the idea of the drawer runner,simple but affective 
. Very interesting how you have done your trackwork as well. The track gauge is exellent ( if it works use what you can for the easiest is my view) Great work !!

Neil's post reminds me that I meant to add my appreciation of your layout too.
I think you are very modest about it, the whole thing punches well above its weight in all areas
Your idea of blocking the entry with an inside out building is both inspired and very well done, and it's a joy to see your son really engrossed in operating too.
Harry and Charlie (my two) are getting on now (10 & 8) but I have always let them have access to my models and I love watching them when they are really concentrating on things. Harry has just discovered the joys of live steam with my 40 (bl**dy hell) year old Mamod, seen in the garden on Monday while Fred and I were distracted...

Apologies for the slight hijack and I look forward to seeing more of Withyn Reach.

PS Your canal boat is a true masterpiece too

I have only just found this thread and I have to say what a smashing little layout Jordan.
It is full of inspiration and demonstrates well that the excuse "I haven't got the space for 0 scale" no longer applies.
Also, I wonder if I could ask you to post the basic dimensions of the 'Joey', i.e. width & length.
Cheers,
Willy

Yes Jordan, I am one and the same and I had forgotten all about those points but I am glad that you found such good use for them.
As for the 'Joey' those dimensions are fine and give me an idea of what is required if I ever get round to building a small wharf, which is something that I have had in the back of my mind for a long time now. Your layout is so inspirational that I may well get something running this year.

Hi Jordan,
With so much to view and digest here on the forum I have finally caught up with your layout.
First of all what a brilliant idea the derelict building is as a mask to the storage roads, I cannot remember seeing that dodge used before ?
As for the part sunken barge.........I love it, you have brought some lovely scenes together in such a small place and it works so well.

Is it really too heavy/big to get in to the loft Jordan ? .............I for one would be sad to see it go

Whilst it is sad to see a layout go, it is fun to start on something new, and maybe it is better to salvage what you can and start afresh and operate.
Maybe Phill could find space in his empire for it as a siding in Barnstable?

Jordan, hi
I also would be sad to see this go - its one of those inspiring layouts that shows that 7mm can be achieved in a relatively small space...and the quality of the modelling is superb
That said, I can also understand if you feel the need to move on from it...over to you I guess...
