Now that Malmsbury is done, it is time to pick up from where I left off on Penzance. So, time for a bit of thinking and taking stock...
As an afterthought, I put together a montage of pictures taken during the design and construction of the layout. They tell the story of how a layout like this comes into being.
Malmsbury is now complete and ready for its first exhibition.
This is a quick little side project for a friend - a simple 1/6th scale miniature railway for a OO Gauge layout. It uses one of the old TeenyTrains oval tracks with my controller and (slightly modified) 1:480 scale models. The controller provides some basic three-times-round-and-stop-at-the-station automation.
Construction of the trains needed for the layout is well under way. All the locos and passenger stock are done, with the goods wagons coming soon. The hidden tracks can store about 10 feet worth of trains nose-to-tail, so that is enough for a decent variety. All are 3D printed, with a combination of paper sides and hand painting for the detail work.
This is just a quick test of a new camera and a well known train running through the station. The train is unfinished and needs a bit of rework, and it never ran on this line, but so what!
