I use Facebook. I upload images to a private album that (on Facebook) only I can se so I don't bore my friends with endless train pics. Once uploaded right click the photo and lick 'copy image address'. Clink on the tree icon up there ^^ and paste the link. That will drop your photo here. You can do that with any image anywhere on the internet - no such thing as 'private' on the internet 😮 I have yet to master how not to have MASSIVE spaces under the images 😳 Haha yes I do. And thanks! Thanks again, as I say, I wanted to pack it in without it loking crammed. All the tunnels have one entrance that I can easily get my hand in, and there's a lift off secton on one of the corners for the big tunnel. The biggest issue with a layout this packed is loading guage - it's very tight, Some of my longer coaches have 2-3mm clearence on tunnel portals, but it all works fine. The 2cv thing... guilty as charged! This is one trains are my secondary/bad weather hobby 😆

Agree with that. I set out with some very specific 'success criteria' for mine. As many trains going at once as possible.Reverse loopMultiple levelsRural settingNo specific time/location to avoid contrived imaginary scenarios.

So my 8x4 folds against an anged ceiling in an angled box: My great pleasure from 'the hobby' is just watching rains go round and round.... so I wanted as many going round as possible! Therev are 4 complete loops: The outer is 3rd radius, the inner and top loops (accessed via an incline) 2nd radius (incorporating a reverse loop) and a 1st radius bottom loop at the top end. There's also the OO9 inner figure of 8 and some shunting value to be hand from the incline and sidings at the top. To avoid the 'loopy' look I've tried to build in as many scenic breaks as possible. I never call it a 'model railway' - it's very much a Scenic Trainset! 😆 The scenery is getting there and I'm enjoying the process!

My only layout is 8x4. I'll post some pics tomorrow. mine is in a box that folds down from an angled ceiling in the loft. So it completely clears away. the lagout itself is built on 10mm ply. I have 2 'full length' loops, a 3rd radius circle and a smaller 2nd radius loop on a second level. There's also a recerse loop. my pleasure is in watching trains go round and round and this enables me to have 4 running continuously whilst a 5th can shunt on the hill up to the second level. mice just started an OO9 element in the middle too. pics to follow.

Thank goodness! I'm 29, had my layout 10 years this year :)
