Been awhile since I've done any form of update so here it is haha,
Once again I've had a rethink about the layout, and now instead of it being based on feltham it's gonna be an area of my own creation, was a pain in the bum trying to find anything useful for feltham, so instead it's gonna be a lower level station (no idea what it would be deemed as) with the station building above the platforms, a side bay for a push pull branch service, and a non active line acting as a pway siding of some sort.
I figured as this layout is mainly as a stop gap between now and a bigger permanant layout when I eventually decide to move, I want it as simple as possible but still fun to control and watch etc, I've made it so simple in fact that there isn't a single point on it, how about that haha
Instead the layout is essentially going to be an elongated oval, with casettes at the back, displaying an inner london suburban station, might even try my hand at converting a tram to run on the town level but we'll see!
It came in my mind that generally I prefer seeing stuff moving, hence keeping it simple, and also keeping costs down! I'm trying to use as much of the stuff I have already to build it and so far so good!
I've laid down the majority of the track work, being finetrax, and started now building the framework for the upper town level, the idea being that I can lift the upper board off and work on it outside of the layout, as if you've seen previous posts you'll realise Ive made the baseboard a giant rectangular box....all good intentions to begin with but a pain to work in!
So for now that's it, both me and the project are still alive and works being done I'll attach some photos later on when things are tidy
