Hi all this is my OO layout under construction, it is a fictitious branch terminus with two platforms & substantial goods facilities, exclusively steam era, DC powered.
This layout was previously listed here as noname as I could not think of one!
I notice planning & baseboard construction started sometime in April 2021, all the track has finally been laid and wired up. I have no buildings and very little stock as this is my first adventure in OO after 35 years in N gauge (never again).
For completeness here is the up to date trackplan
And here is a picture illustrating the present scorched earth
A BR 2-6-2T awaits departure with 4 coaches, A Fowler 2-6-4T is in the ash road and some wagons await the goods shed, coal staithes & cattle dock!
The goods shed (under construction) & engine shed (waiting construction) are both Metcalfe kits from the S&C stone range as the station is assumed to be in hill country somewhere. I enjoyed the Metcalfe kits in N, the OO ones being a hell of a lot bigger!! I found a B grade pencil was just about right for colouring edges thus avoiding paint. Very hard to get tiny dabs of UHU for the windowsills. Its taken me a few days (on & off) to do the walls and end gables so far.
