grumbeast Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I started to build a layout to get used to unitrack and to get back into building. Here are some pics below. I'm intending it to be British outline, as I do have a pile of stuff.. its a simple double track roundy-roundy but I do have some limited staging out back. I built it on a standard door and as you can see am in the middle of scenery Pictures 1. The overall layout 2. The tunnel mouths, There will be a roadbridge here, I painted where the road will go (in grey) but this isn't the road surface, it just gives me an idea of what it'll be like. 3. Carboard webbing that will support the platform surfaces. 4. The back of the layout showing the staging I'm hoping to take this to local shows when it is done. Graham 5 Link to comment
Bernard Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Nice work! I never was webbing like that before to support the layout. Is the design so you can vary the terrain between the tracks? Link to comment
grumbeast Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 The webbing is actually to support the cardboard station platform surface, The shape of the platform was so odd that I found it easier to build the edges, then put supports between them to make it sturdy. I stil have to cut the surfaces and make sure the clearances work but its coming on. Link to comment
scott Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Nice! These exhibition-style layouts always look like fun, but we don't have any local exhibitions... Link to comment
ToniBabelony Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 The tracks have a really great natural flow to it! Very nice indeed! Link to comment
