Ptolemy -376250

Happy new year to all of you. I was wondering what balas you would suggest using for my track now I have sorted the laout i will be posting pictures but haven't got round to taking taking them yet due to family commitments. Ptolemy.

No I don't think it is obvious I spent the first year fetching trains from the most awquard of spaces so its lucky you said this and I will make sure to keep all you posted on any progress that I make.

Thank you everyone for the great ideas and advice and this forum has really helped me with my layout I have now taken the advice on board (no pun intended) and I have come up with a layout plan and I will be posting it once the new board is in place at the closest edge and I have played the track down. These ideas have been really useful to me as it as been over a year since I got my first train and I am just now working out the perfect layout for me at the moment. I'm sure if we all carry on working together on this slightly challenging project as some of you have phrased it as it will come out in a way that pleases myself and I hope that you will cary on helping me with my model train adventure. Ptolemy.

I have been able to convince my dad to add a tiny bit on to the one side so it now will look like this sorry it’s a bad drawing but you should get the intentions. The blue dashed line is the area he is going to allow me to add. ptolemy.

@atom3624 I am looking at maybe a coal or steel industry like the ones in the midlands UK so maybe a coal pit or a factory with an obvious steel works design around it.i think I will be looking at 19th century and so between 1850-1900 ish.

i have a base bord in my mom and dads attic and have prepered it for a layout, however not really sure how i should arrage the track and fit the scenary around it. im going for an idustrialvillage look with back to back houses and maybe a bit of a factory in 00 gauge. i am not planning on taking this to any events and really use it as a hobby inbetween school. i really hope someone can help as no progress has been made this year. im happy to answer any questions as well Ptolemy.
