A few new photos on the Beeches TMD fotopic - go to PICTURES AND SLIDESHOW page for link. Also three great new videos on OTHER LAYOUTS - VIDEO page - Ayr MRC - Swinlees layout.
LAST UDATE 5. 7. 2009
I am relatively new to model railways but have stacks of enthusiasm. I started with an N gauge layout in the garage and it was a steep learning curve. The garage proved to be so cold in the winter that progress with the layout slowed right down. First lesson, choose somewhere to work and develop a layout that is comfortable. The boards were built like a battleship - warp didn't come into it! Yes - you've guessed it - they were heavy. I will not bore you with the other lessons I learned. It is worth considering experimenting though with a smaller layout - learn from your mistakes before embarking on something more substantial.
One day - perhaps when I retire - I plan to develop an OO layout based on the stretch of line on the North Wales coast between Penmaenmawr and Llandudno (1990's to present day). It will not be possible of course to model this exactly but it will take its inspiration from this fascinating area with its impressive backdrop and views over the Irish Sea. There has been such a diverse range of passenger and freight rolling stock that makes this area so interesting too. I have been accumulating engines, coaches and trucks with this layout in mind. The rolling stock link and image gallery shows some of my rolling stock that will be used on this layout.
This is a modern image layout. It is an imaginary TMD - presumably somewhere in the north west - serving locomotives working in North Wales. As you can see from the plan, there is an access line - used by local DMU's as well as locomotives accessing the TMD. This line will lead in the imagination to a main line nearby. The rolling stock will be 1990's to present.
THE PLAN
______________
This is a developing website so come back to it.
Use the links to see how the layout is progressing. I plan to add more photographs fairly regularly.
