7mm Aneurin Bridge ( St Stephen’s General station )

Unfortunately due to health reasons I’ve had to dismantle this layout, it’s to big for me to comfortably work on and I know I cannot finish it to the standard it deserves.
I will build a new shed layout using some of the track and buildings from this project.
A start on which has already begun.

Sorry you can’t go on with this exquisite layout. It must have been a wrench to decide to break it up. :-( Only you can tell if your health will allow a build to continue. I wish you well on your new build and look forward to seeing the progress

What a great shame. I too wish you well and will follow your new layout with interest.

Hi Steve,

sorry to hear about your health problems, I wish you well for the future. I fully understand your position and sympathise with you about your decision having 'been there' myself'.

I look forward to seeing the progress on your new venture as and when you are able to make a start.

kind regards

Mike

Steve, sorry to hear your news but good to see you've started a smaller layout on a new thread.

Three house moves later on from Ranelagh Bridge and I now have access to a garage for a permanent home layout. Filling in the footsteps of Ranelagh Bridge and using it as a partial source of inspiration comes Aneurin Bridge,
I started this dioram earlier this year and whilst not much has altered it seemed like a good one to see if it could be expanded into a working layout, like RB it’s mainly loco movements. Here’s the plan so far my favourite signal from Newport high street will feature this was initially going to be the scenic break but will now bisect the layout and will be full width

Hi Rog
On the home stretch now on house renovations so I’m hoping to get over before Christmas but if I don’t I’ll see you at our annual Christmas get together

Final track plan

Hi Steve,

what are the plan dimensions please. Would it be possible to move the lower three way point to the left to near the baseboard join which would ease the curve to the turntable.

regards

Mike

Would make building the tandem easier too.

unless it’s aligned with the other for “purposes of realism”, of course.
