Long story short.
Started to model Maiden Newton in OO (all 40'of it incl. curves at each end).
Have put the house on the market as we are finding it to hot here in the summers and wish to move south  (would rather move to the UK but alas, finances won't permit that) where it will at least we will get more cool changes in the summer than up here, where 40 plus degrees for days on end is not uncommon.

So, Maiden Newton was dismantled and packed up. I needed to model something that I could pack away quickly and easily in case the house should sell. Went through the four books of GWR trackplans and settled on Ashburton as being a small BLT. (about 12')

The layout consists of 2 boards with 3x2 pine framing and mdf on top. One is 8'long and the second is 4'long.
The track has already been laid using C&L flexible track.
Points are handmade on pcb sleepers.
Points operation is WIT (wire in tube).
Electrics are DC.
Controller is handbuilt from circuit published by Dukedog on RM Web....  here .

Buildings have been started using Palight plastic. My thanks to Geoff Forster for suggesting it as a possible option for making buildings from. His Blog is "http://radnorailways.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default" which should show up on the side (I hope)!

With luck I shall take photo's tomorrow of where I am up to and hopefully more as things progress.
