Hi all,

 After a lovely weekend at home organising and tidying round my layout I finally built up the courage to start a thread online showing my progress. I’m sure a few people have seen some of my posts on Facebook or instagram showing how the layout is coming along, and I’m sure one or two of you have come across my terribly but hilariously put together YouTube videos. If you’re lucky enough to not have come across anything yet, fear not, I will attach all the links down below. 
 

This evening I will give a better, more in-depth run down of the layout, rolling stick and ideas that are coming along, but I thought there’s no better time to start than the present!

Good on you, looking forward to it.

Further to yesterday’s post here are the most recent photos that I have of the layout of the layout. I’m hoping by next weekend I should have a few videos of different rolling stock running during breaks of working on the board. I don’t have full dimensions as of yet so again I’ll be updating this thread more thoroughly then. But until then enjoy modelling!

Here’s the link to my YouTube channel folks!

I uploaded a video earlier that I’ve been working on over the past few weeks. It’s not perfect but it’s getting there! If you have a minute feel free to look through my videos, or hit subscribe please as the more people I see are showing an interest the more I want to keep improving my videos and working on the layout. I live by ‘rule 1’ so not everything will be correct or perfect but that’s all part of the fun!

 

Anyways, back to hibernation and studying for the next while!

NIce to see the layout James - that's an interesting mix of rolling stock you have there. Hope to see more of it getting a spin around the layout. Good luck with the youtube channel - sound is much better on the recent one

Thank you! Yeah, I’ve spent a bit of time living/working in the states and there is just something about the trains and vehicles over there that I have a love for. I try to get a piece of rolling stock/cheap loco in every country I go to to remind myself of the memories from there!

I hope that is the last of the messing around with the track for now so that it’ll be smooth sailing and continuous running from here fingers crossed!

Thanks for the support! Hoping to get more videos made/uploaded over the coming weeks.
