All In The Detail

It struck me that I've not actually listed any details about Spatch.

The overall size is 60" x 18".

The plain line track is C&L code 75 bullhead, the S&C is Peco code 75 short radius electrofrog.

Well that's all there is to say really. Best have some pictures.

A brake van on some plain line.

Some plain line close up.

Some early ground cover.

Ghosts of layouts past. Part 1.

Perusing my hard drive today turned up some images of my past endeavours, some have appeared elsewhere on the web.

Furthest back we have this layout. I don't think it ever had a name and I'm not totally convinced it even had a premise. It was a small shunting layout for shuffling about engineers wagons. Some scrap wagons showed up to.

Needless to say, a very simple track plan.

I didn't say which weekend...

Better late than never eh? Actually, don't answer that. Progress has been fairly slow, but some work has been done on the front of the layout, mainly vegetation.

The oddly short site supervisor inspects the recent vegetation work with the project manager.

The resident 08 prepares to move a short ballast train from the siding.

A lone van awaits the pick up goods.
