I'm hoping that the N Gauge Forum will be a place I can visit for sage advice, inspiration and hopefully some laughs along the way.
Hi Chuffed2bits, and welcome to the forum

You'll get plenty of the above here. Who knows? Amidst the sage there may also be some turmeric and coriander.
I note the 'plan' is going to be based on Taff Vale c.1900 but what do you intend to run on the plan?
I, too, have my mancave in the conservatory but I live alone so have no 'authorites' to have to consult/put thumbprints into my head.
