So I've had to take a break from layout number 2 as I am unable to obtain supplies for it during this lockdown. however I have started layout number 3 which is going to use everything I currently have at home. its a micro layout/shunting puzzle I call her "Lockdown Sidings" this is what I accomplished in a single day, now waiting for the glue to dry so I can continue the hillside and then move onto plaster cloth and landscaping

Long time no updates!
So this is how much i've done so far on that shunting puzzle layout
Started painting it a few weeks ago
Then started some scenic work. the stone cottage is just for show i ended up not using it and went for an old style Thatched Cottage
Finally started Ballasting last week and ended up with this
Last but not least heres a nice shot of my Class 08 shunting some wagons while I was testing the track.
Currently Taking a break from working on this OO layout and started work on an N Scale one, Pictures to follow!

So I have been busy working on the N Scale I mentioned a few months back. Unfortunately I have not gotten as much done as I thought due to all sorts of reasons so this months update is something else. Here is a picture of what I've done so far with the N Scale.
So Recently I bought a Micro Layout in a box from Scalemodelscenery and decided to make another small shunting layout (the One built a few months back is for DC or Analogue only trains to accommodate my old stock produced before the 1990's) This one is going to be Fully DCC (Digital) for my two beautiful shunting diesels this also means an electronic motor for making the Points switch, something I have not done before. The two buildings you see are made from kits I got from Scalescenes the one with the 2 grey doors was one of the free kits the other is the industrial factory kit that I've scratch built using bits and pieces of the full kit (all of which can be downloaded and printed yourself so infinite copies!) so moving onto pictures here it is with the two factory mockups. I would say this is currently 20% Completed as some of the supplies are still in the post such as fencing, containers, people, etc

Not updated this since August last year? Sheesh.
So there's been a few changes with my hobby plans. no longer working on OO Gauge, I sold a fair few pieces to afford my downscale to N but I kept my DCC Diesels incase I choose to continue working on the micro layout.
I have been busy with the N Scale layout, Gotten track down, started scenery and I repurposed the platforms made last year, gave them a facelift you'll see in the Album.

So having abandoned my old train room mainly because a OO scale loop layout takes up way too much space. (we are turning it back into a bedroom for now) the Wife and I spent time removing/boxing selling old crap and made room in our back bedroom which is a bit too small to be called a bedroom if we are being honest. I decided that will be the location of the N Scale Layout as it won't take up anywhere near as much space as the OO and I get to do more of my favourite thing (scenery)here's some progress shots:
Should give you guys a rough idea of shape, its kind of like a big U Shape hugging the outside of the box room. Check out the Artexing on the walls. let me tell you if you accidently scratch it with your nails your in for a world of pain, it flakes off and embeds deep in the skin!
The general idea here is a mostly Industrial use lower track with a usual Passenger use line raised up above. here's some close ups of the One end of both lines and also the only completed part of the scenic area on the first corner which is actually only mostly complete on the one side of the bridge, there's still alot of work to do on the Industrial units side
The Farm (not finished)
And lastly the other side of the country is going to be a sloped hill, the lower track goes into a tunnel and curves around the side into a small hidden fiddle yard while the top track curves around over the top and will eventually come into a terminal station.
Expect another update in a few weeks, or months!
