Mine is to finish the 3rd rail laying (havent been able to face up to cutting up and glueing the insulated connectors) weather the track and ballast some and complete the scenics on the back tray,,,,,,

now for me this is simple
1 dry line & insulate the shed
2 build the baseboard for the new layout
3 decide on which of the ideas I have for the track
4 buy anyrail
5 design the layout
6 lay the track
7 add buildings
8 add scenery
9 wire up the track
10 wire up the points for the first time
11 ballast track
13 add more rolling stock
14 add more loco's
15 spend time with my three year old and new born baby

but most important of all not annoy the wife to much so that she divorces me before our first wedding anniversary

easy - well apart from the final point

   

Well i've started sorting mine i visited a local club last night and was made very welcome so one tick in the box.

Mine is to actually start!

likewise - or even finalise the track plan.  been working on that for over 2 years now!

Eyup, Steve.
Not by any chance Chorley, Lancs maybe? Another one for the Lancashire Massive, methinks
We have a great band of us in Lancs, and we're trying to get a lot of folks along to the Preston exhibition (see Events section). How about coming along, and in the meantime, although it's in your head at present, how about telling us what you intend to model (era/location etc) in the Introduction section?
All the best

Properly start... For the past 2 years now it's consisted of a tail-chaser loop on my coffee table. This year is time to get some baseboard made and actually lay some track!

A bit late, but mine would be to get atleast 4/5ths of the layout finished. Since Delfryn is small, I should by rights be able to get the full thing completed. Also need to buy more rolling stock 

 Third rail and/or ballast!

Go for it - AND

Blast you and your ballst.

I resolve to stop buying the stuf and actually put some on the layout....

Have bought four bags on four seperate trips to the UK and still haven't got the courage to use it !

My resolution was made last September when I packed the layout away after a week of thorough track and electrical testing following months of wire-soldering - there would be nothing done in the lead up to christmas and then January would see half the layout out at a time so the major scenic work could start. This will happen in the next fortnight or so 

True to my word the 'North' half of the layout is now up on trestles in the lounge with a removable polythene cover, ready for work to start:-






Paul

Track ready to lay for my roundy round.
Base board ready.
Waiting for bits of electronic trickery to arrive.
Waiting for Shapeways  order of Nn3 tipper trucks.
PSU's ready for the trickery stuff.
Switches,wire, solder etc all ready.

4 weeks before I can do any more on SWMBO's orders.

Planning still going on for the roundy round.
Thought I had every thing finalized but not sure now.
Struggling to fit the narrow gauge/std gauge transfer station in the available space.
Have orders electronic trickery but am now beginning to think I may be biting off too much for the limited space.
