O Gauge ...
It is approaching the end of August 2020 and followers of my 4mm scale/OO gauge layout on another thread will know it ended up going nowhere.
Seeing as this thread is mostly about my O gauge Corwen layout, I have decided to put the first few O gauge posts here for the time-being until I have a working title.
Favorite so far is the
Pontcysyllte Branch which ran from Wrexham and ended up at the Shropshire Union Canal. The attraction for me, apart from a liking for the Wales & Borders countryside, is the brick traffic. Plus I figured there could be a reasonable passenger terminus there using late 1990's GWR architecture.
I have nothing against fiction, but I do have to know where the fiction is. I would simply be upgrading an existing branch line. Below is the outline plan in a tapered baseboard just under 14' long. Shunting can mostly take place without leaving the shed so that rain doesn't stop play....
Been messing around with a jigsaw of track and turnouts for several days. Further points needed for a crossover...
Except for the missing station, the picture below of
my previous Corwen could almost be of the current layout...
