Bulleidboy Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 This is what I'd seen on ebay. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6-X-Detailed-Model-Railway-Retaining-Wall-With-Aches-For-HO-OO-Length-1-M-Gray/222526183392?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 Looks a bit rough, but then retaining walls often were.

Bulleidboy Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I might buy a length when I get back home. At that price it might be worth experimenting with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troublesome Truck Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 [snip] David, these pictures are awesome! Just the sort of layout design I'd like to make. How big is your base board? Is this a big layout? I've not got a lot of room. But damn! I'm jealous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David12 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Thank you, Freightliner, for your compliments - very much appreciated. The layout is not too large as it uses a small spare room in the house about 8ft.x10ft. As it is fitted around the walls there is no single baseboard, the width of the board ranging from 1ft. to 3ft. There are also several hidden storage yards at different levels. It's taken about 20 years to get it this far but it's still being improved.

Great Western Railway Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 @Jimbo Love your layout. Have a look at mine in more detail in the other post "What was running on your layout today?" Mine will hopefully look a bit more like yours in the near future. 😉. I think I'm free this afternoon/evening, so shall add some more comments on the pictures in more detail.

Jimbo1707820979 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Thanks, GWR. My own feeling about my layout (this one is the indoors DCC layout, not my garage one) is that it is too cluttered and disorganised. As it was my first effort though, with no experience or help other than from the kind folks on the forum it hasn't gone TOO badly, except when I had a meltdown of street lamps through incorrect wiring. I now try to stick to LED's for safety and durability reasons.My no.1 garage DC layout is much bigger, 16' x 4' and is purely non-scenic and designed for running locos and testing and has 4 loops including an elevated one with a steep gradient crossing over the main lines. Plus a smaller 2-track DC layout, horseshoe-shaped, controlled by a H & M Duette, an excellent bit of kit, I find.I am now running out of places to build -- maybe I'll be out on the lawn soon (in more ways than one, says SWAMBO !) Actually building the layouts has probably been the best fun. I used to re-build old T-type MG's but too old these days, I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great image! 😆 😉 😀 GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doc Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Here are some pictures of the minimum space layout I've been working on at school with some year 9s. The layout is 6' x 2' and fits neatly on a shelf at the side of my classroom. The radii of the curves are about 9", but I have about 10 locos that will run on it fine./media/tinymce_upload/869b702762429bb5e47f8c3f89f16035.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/b7575c402767df0008838300336c1931.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/1c1db6cf441ef9f1a9fb8aec34ba8f44.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/46f0c3276a49978d8a9b36cbf0e8ee3b.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doc Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 @Caiptean. Yes, this layout is definitely not to be taken too seriously. I don't think I'm likely to be asked "Is that EM gauge or P4?" 😳 Still, there is plenty of opportunity for shunting as well as watching trains go round and round.

96RAF Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 You can post links to external videos BB but you cannot embed a video on the page like you see on Facebook, only embed pictures.

Triumph Owner Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 There is a lot of work to do here, but I have started.

ackers5861 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I’m just getting into the hobby, but this is what my first-time layout is going to be. It’s 6 x 4 so very modest in size, but I have many ideas to make it work.
