Officially I'm not staring this project until Saturday at the Furness MRC show where I'm going to endeavour to build most of the layout over the course of a weekend. If your in the area it worth popping down. Although the prototype is actually about 6ft long and 2ft wide in 7mm its being squished into 4ft by 18inches, without changing the overall look. The baseboard has be reclaimed from "Scratchy Bottom" as have the point actuators. The NG track work is straight of of the box peco 0-16.5 and the standard gauge hand built in S7.
This is the effect I'm hoping to get when finished.
Some of the stock has already been built (See photos).
I have a Branchlines chassis on order for Tal-y-Llyn. All the wagons are/will be fitted with modified Greenwich couplings operated by small Permanente magnets.
I probably should say that this is a build that is strictly not for me as its for My little lad who is really into his Narrow gauge
