Hi Graham. Good to see your plans. The support through RU-vid is quite amazing and it is really good that it helped lift you after the last video. I was interested in your comments about future proofing your layout. Essentially you are going to build your layout in the same way that people build exhibition layouts. There will quite a bit on RU-vid and the forums about how to construct a layout that way. Look forward to seeing how you’re getting on in future videos. Stephen
thank you for your you tube support, I never really thought about it as a exhibition layout but yes your right it should prove interesting as a lot more thinking has to go into it, as each section on the layout itself has to be removable...G
Hey there Graham it is good to see you up and enthusiastic again after the other week. It is all part of the process as you go along changing plans and adapting.
A good question, what happens in the end? I had to move from a 3 bedroom house (due to it being too large for one person) rented, onto a 40' narrow boat, most the rolling stock, track was sold or given away. Now I am a fews years on my boat & I have decided to model again, but a short 6' x 2' tapering into around 1' based board in O gauge!! I did try N (too small glasses + magnifier) & OO station for DMU's boring. what happens to me once I'm gong is not a problem, but someone else's (daughter) of which I won't have any control just be tucked up in a little cardboard box! As for time & effort that goes into a layout it's a hobby, as which we learn from mistakes, vlogs on RU-vid if you are in a club other members! there is no time cost but a bit of frustration & enjoyment when it works.
Hi.. Thanks for your comment, it was just a thought I had and I couldn't get it out of my head, so I said it, and yes your right it is part of the hobby and I still do enjoy it, hope you stick around...G
