Hello to all.
After many years of wanting to build a model railroad, I woke up one day and said I'm going to do it! So, I got a mate to build a 4' by 8' plywood table, and then set about acquiring stuff for the layout. After a while, I had a pile of stuff, and the realisation set in - "what the hell am I going to do with it all?".
I am artistically inept, so found XtrkCad on the net, and after a lot of doodlin, came up with this:
The track in black will be Code 100, in red Code 83. It is my objective to plonk a piece of hardboard or plywood between the red and black tracks (except at the south end), so I can have two different scenes on either side.
Initially, I am planning on doing something like an urban scene on the code 83 side, and something based on the Feather River Canyon (http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=117664) on the code 100 side. That's the plan, anyway.
Any comments, thoughts, etc., would be appreciated.
