My layout
Hi,
Just thought I'd post a couple of photos of my N Gauge layout. I started it in January this year and as you can see it's very much a work in progress. It's changed three times since I started but I think I'll stick with this one for now. The others were rather complex as I wanted to include bridges, tunnels, loops and several sidings. They suffered from running problems and nothing seemed to work properly. This layout is much better and probably rather simple but it works just fine. You can probably see where the last layout was from the painted area on the righthand side.
As you can probably see it is in a garden shed and measures 5' 7" by 3' 4". There is the potential to add another 4' by 3' down the right hand side.
The top of the hill comes off to allow access for any possible derailment in the tunnel. I'm slowly working my way from left to right with the scenery. The points are still manual although I fancy trying the new Pecolectrics system I saw in last months Railway Modeller.
Buildings are mainly Kestrel Design with a couple from Peco. Vehicles are P and D Marsh and Oxford Collectables. My engines all came from E-bay, except for a Dapol 4-4-0 M7, which was a birthday present. Rolling stock is mainly Peco kits built and painted by myself.
I'l post some more photos later.
Alex
