compact shunting layout first ever attempt.

[Glenn-1252345]

Railway modelling is a new genre for me, being a military modelling enthusiast. So I have delved in to hobby head first and produced my first ever layout a compact shunting yard based in the 3rd era and using a GWR Great Prairie. Space was a premium so this project comes in at only 40cm wide and 1.20m long. What I will say is planning, and getting the basics right, as in the track layout, theme and power, will save a lot of time effort and money. This aspect of the project proved to be challenging, how ever perseverance, listening to advice and watching reams of related videos was really helpful. Even with a limited build space and tight parameters the build was a steep learning journey, and a lot of fun.
