Progress has happened!
First off Cranky has arrived so I've had to rejig the entire layout so it now looks like this:
The eagle-eyed among you may have noticed that I've also decided to include 00 model railway figures with the layout to make it more realistic as I have enough to supply both this layout and my model railway if I ever get room to build that up again. Because of this I now have two new destinations:
Farmer McColl's Farm (Complete with stop section for deliveries):
Farmer Trotter's Pig Farm:
And, what with the decision to add the 00 figures, I decided to give my cattle truck some... passengers.
I decided to add a little narrow gauge loop for Mighty Mac (as I only have one NG engine) but what with the idea to use 00 figures and an eye towards expansion I don't think it'll last long. The cool gimmicks of the Trackmaster Revolution sets will have to wait for the time being as they simply can't fit on the layout at this moment in time.
Also, the signal gantry and Thomas are finished and I'm blowing my own trumpet a bit but I'm ecstatic with how they came out.
That's it for now, but new ideas are flowing all the time so stay tuned.
