Well the roof never got started but i did get my brown blocks for the upper level but at the weekend i have to sort my bedroom out and build and fit the hatch door before my mum goes into hospital for an op on monday,so little work will be done on the layout at the weekend unless i can get both done on the saturday and leave all sunday for the layout.

Well it has come to it i will have to buy afew lengths of peco flexi track for the layout which will be used in the storage sidings under the station but i ain't sure how many till i start to lay track out on the layout,and i will remove the two bricks on the other wall so i can have the upper tracks straighter than to curve around the wall.

Not posted for awhile now because my mum had her Op two weeks ago and is home and is recovering great so my layout has been put on hold as i am doing the house work for my mum while she recovers from here Op,and i am looking after her while my dad is at work also i have removed all unpinned track on the layout and it has been pack away into a box and put in my bedroom till have christmas.

I hope to restart work on the layout after the new year with the same track plan or a completely new one but not sure yet what i will do but it will still have 4 tracks 2 lower and 2 upper,i also hope to buy some new things for the layout now i have finished paying for my laptop.

Right i am keeping the same track plan but changing the station are to something i like in one of model train books and here a pic of what i want to have there.

i'll be using most of that track plan except the curves on the right as that will be straight track plus the station will be longer towards the right aswell.

Well i have ordered my box of flexi track now with a peco cat from hattons and i have also ordered the new honrby book from play.com and i should recieve them maybe tuesday.

Also i am getting some free seep point motors from a good friend that he nolonger needs and have been posted today and i should receive them tomorrow morning with my other parcels.

dynamite25 · 09-01-2006

I have recieved a email to say my book has been posted so i'll get that tomorrow,but still haven't recieved a email from hattons to say that my track and cat have been packed and posted so i might get an email in the morning so i will check again in the morning.

dynamite25 · 10-01-2006

Well my seep point motors arrived this morning from a very good friend from another forum and i have 35 seep point motors that i got for free, and i am very grateful to him for letting me have them for free.

I am just waiting for my track to arrive from hattons which i ordered saturday and i am still waiting for that email to say they have been packed and posted which i still haven't recieved yet.Plus my book hasn't come either from play.com.

Been getting more ideas for my layout again as i been thinking how will i get the trains back down to the main level from upper level and with what other things i want to do and it didn't leave much room for a good incline down,and then i thought if i remove the smaller brock ontop off the bigger one that will let me carry the upper baseboard straight across and not have to cut around the brick.

So with that sorted i can run a twin track incline back down under the station down to the lower level and back to the lower main tracks,i have that many ideas for my layout i can't draw them out to show you as i am no good at it so you will all have to wait till i start working on the layout again to see my idea.

As that bit has been bugging me for months on how to get around it so i can now rest.

dynamite25 · 17-01-2006

Well i received my track and peco cat at 2:30pm so i will be back to working on the layout tomorrow yippee, and i will be getting my next order ready tobe sent on Saturday to get more goodies for my layout.
