Re: The Shankly and Gdynia Railway
Thank you very much RogerB and WTD. I'm not very knowledgeable about locomotives and thought that a B17 was a Flying Fortress. Doh!

It is, however they have a problem getting through tunnels.
Nurse, the screens!
Re: The Shankly and Gdynia Railway
Quite so WTD. I really wouldn't fancy trying to get a Flying Fortress through there, especially if it was all bombed up.
Re: The Shankly and Gdynia Railway
Wonderful layout. Could you post a track plan of your layout ? Thanks.
Re: The Shankly and Gdynia Railway
Hi Halsted,
I don't have a track plan. I made it up by trial and error using old track from the 1970s and some second hand stuff. Here's an aerial photo taken about 18 months ago when it was less covered in scenic features and, therefore, easier to comprehend. Written explanation to follow.

Re: The Shankly and Gdynia Railway
That’s the way I did my layout Ian. Much more rewarding.

You'll probably find that quite a few layouts develop like that, despite folk [like me] spending ages planning, thinking, prevaricating etc. R-

Re: The Shankly and Gdynia Railway
I knew what I wanted, loco sheds, turntable, goods yard etc. The only thing that had a set position was the turntable. I loosely laid two circuits and got some trains running in a few hours and then built it up from them.

Re: The Shankly and Gdynia Railway
Yup, exactly what I did, and then I changed it again...... and again...... and again. Well, you get the drift. R-
