It may well look a bit disjointed if the scenery doesn't match up but it would be a bit of fun.

I saw one in IIRC a mag like that, and they had big 'dividers' at the end of each 'specific module(s) section' with tunnels going through to the next area.

I think the idea is that each person has a 'straight' or 'curved' special section, (fregzample a station, goods, mpd, etc. section spread over several boards), whereas others will just build the 'scenic mainline' boards - just a straight or curved board with a twin track through it that can be used to link the others together.

Personally, I think it's a great way of having a progressive exhibition layout by a club's members :thumbsup:

Exhibitions are not in my mind at the moment. However they are a good way of sharing the hobby. I would like to "future proof" my layout in case I wanted to share it with others at a local show. Of all the hobbies I have dabbled in I think Railway Modellers are the most helpful and sharing group you can meet. The response I have had on this forum is amazing. I will drive you all nuts with the questions I have because I have been out in the cold since I went into Z gauge. With Z gauge I eventually could hardly see my rolling stock and the pricing was too high for me.

I like the design Leo did for me. I would be able to make board 1 fit board 3 as well so it would work with 1 or 2 or 3 boards.

Leo, excuse my lack of imagination but could you scribble on the plan where things could go scenery wise ? e.g. station, engine shed, coaling or diesel point, industries, etc.

If I build this design I would like to involve as many people possible giving ideas, etc,.

Thanks to everyone else - I have checked out all the  links - much appreciated  :thankyousign:
