well, iv decided that im going to venture on a new project which i can use on exhibitions, club meetings etc, and its a layout based on the ever so famous and popular Settle and Carlisle Line.
i came across what is one of my favourite layouts so far, Batty Moor by the Twickenham and District Club.
now its pretty much exactly the sort of scene i want to create, but have a few questions as i seem to struggle to find them, and when i emailed them iv yet to recieve a reply...
1-whats the dimensions of the layout? its hard to tell from the video angles and photos etc.
2-since i want to do something similar, where would you suggest i do? as Blea Moor is obviously already done, i want to choose a different section!
if i could get Ribblehead viaduct which i saw in a recent issue of a model railway magazine, i would happily do that, but i bet getting the viaduct made would not be cheap, although would look fantastic on the exhibition circuit!
any help appreciated
kind regards
Paul

So where does that leave me? Lol
I could do ribblehead if i can get the viaduct made...
The last photo is about half Ribblehead and looks to be made from Metcalfe kits for OO. I used 4 kits together to create my 12 arch viaduct and it fits on a 4 foot board.
So in less that 8 foot you can have a full Ribblehead. Add the Lyddle End station and signal box RTP's and you have all the bits you need. If I ever get any progress on mine I will post some piccies
