Been a while so time for an update on Hatley St George. Very slow progress but I have been concentrating on detailing the layout particularly the platform and yard areas. I have learned over the intervening months that it is good to βwalk awayβ from the project on occasions, sometime for several weeks. Inspiration and motivation always seem to return.
I exhibited the layout at the Lymington Model Railway Exhibition this Easter weekend and the experience has confirmed to me that building a TT layout was the right decision, and especially a small and portable one. A lot of positive feedback and a number of fruitful conversations with visitors gave me a host of ideas on how to develop the layout and re-kindled my enthusiasm.
May I encourage those forum members struggling to get going on a first layout. My layout is small, and this is my first attempt at serious scenery, but I have made progress, and I thoroughly enjoy seeing my trains running round. My advice is to just plough on and do something...seems to have worked for me π
