Model Railway Forum

I was on this forum a few years ago when i did OO gauge but all thats gone now . I am the process of sorting my loft out for my new O gauge layout.
i have an area 16ft x 12ft to use, with a small `alcove` 5ft x 4ft for a siding or something. Shame we`ve got a COL crisis but i have found a timber source at a good price.
Pics will follow .


Cheers Tony

Welcome back. I was OO for decades but now O. Only a small layout but the best decision I ever made.

oh well things were going to plan but now i got to do some re wiring in my loft !!!!!! didn`t anticipate that expense

Had the electrician round this evening gonna get it sorted before the festive season then leave it till into the new year got other thing to sort out first

Is it my imagination or is this site not as busy as it used to be

It think it is a lot quieter, probably because model railways has become an expensive hobby so there isn’t as much to discuss.

I prefer to think that we have quality rather than quantity on this forum.
I may be mistaken.

OR
We are in the 'train room/shed' enjoying our hobby and not talking about enjoying it!

Either that or moaning about something or other on another forum.

ok back to my new project

i have looked on the www
but could do with advice on various aspects ie track,rolling stock etc ,etc

i have got a budget which is good BUT non negotiable according to the financial director

Needs to be 4 figures,plus, if my research is correct. Had a look, some time ago, but was informed, eating, was more of a priority.
