Hello Again, as you can see the project is moving forward and the now have the basis of a reasonable Model Railway, I have added a 3rd radius curve and some extra straight track to the existing track I had and there is still some further track to purchase. One of the important features of the layout for me was to have sufficient straight track lengths so as to allow the trains to run in a straight line without any of the carriages still negotiating the bend. Even on this baseboard which is 10 foot long 2 foot at each and is taken by the radius of the curve and I wanted to have a continuous run rather than an end to end layout, so I have managed to squeeze 6 x 6 foot straight lengths which gives a reasonable effect. What you see in this video has now been dismantled and put back in storage and was only laid down for a few hours, just so I could see how things where developing so far, if you saw my previous video’s you may also notice the addition of my new schools class which although running sadly had a fault on the locomotive on removal from the box that could not be fixed and it has been returned to Hornby for repair. However I now have quite a nice collection of Steam Locomotives and Carriages. Something I would say to anyone starting out at building a model railway is that;- The hobby is very much a collecting hobby and what you see has taken me some years to collect, buying bits and pieces here and there, so it is not an overnight event, there have been times when I …
