I'd missed the last set of pictures.  It's really well made, and looks good fun.  :)

 :thankyousign: for the comments guys.
The trackplan for the new layout will be dependant on a couple of buildings I am waiting to be delivered and then built.
Due to the nature of this new layout all track will be handbuilt and the rolling stock a combination of 3d prints and Etched brass kits.
Buildings will be card kits from various manufacturers and hopefully will look ok as they are several scales.

Looking at building one of the new railcars as radio controlled.  :goggleeyes:
Just need to sort out the battery and charger. Will be on a Kato 103/104 chassis.
Sourced the rest of the R/C gear. TX approx £25 ,RX similar price but means can be run on any layout DC or DCC with live or insulated frog points with out worry.
Will post build on here when I do it.

New layout basics as built so far. Decision made not to hand build the track as reliability needs to be a priority on this one.

Looks great, Mike :thumbsup:
I just love the instruments of torture in the first pic >:D

Should never have made them illegal. A night in the pillory or stocks would do some of the hooligans a power of good.
The years have been good to me, it was the weekends that did the damage.

Oldman

I thought the instruments of torture were the pub benches - Could never get on or off one without bashing my shins. ;D
