Exclamation Loughborough Great Central Railway in the making!!

just started build my model lay out on to the boards and it is longer than i thought it would be it may stretch from 1 end of the house to the other (end to end lay out)and also may have to put a 90 degree angle in it to keep it going to the runaround end. slight modification to the Loughborugh great central layout pictures available at http://www.gcrailway.co.uk

I like the nice traditional rolling stock, brings back many memories of my layout when I was young.

Thumbs up Which scale ?

Hello all, just a quick question if I may. Which scale is this in please? It looks to me to be O-gauge as the level of detail visible on the coaches appears very clearly.

cheers

Jim

at the min i am currently making some changes to the shed area and it involved lifting the track and reposition it cos the real thing is more curved than what i have it! which will also mean making changes to the station and depature area the other side of the bridge by moving the track abit

Reminds me of the days huddled in the Loft at my Mum & Dads with my large layout, that was the only place I could have it permanently set out but I spent many Happy quiet hours up there !!

Keep the good work coming !!

Regards.....Mark.
