Besides my 7mm stuff I've always had a bit more than a passing interest in American Railroading. I did intend on doing a bit of HO modelling but space does not allow this.
I've recently done the track plan for Ranelagh Bridge and as I'm going to build the boards for this quite high 4 foot plus I've got plenty of room underneath to model something, I couldn't model any other scale in British outline so its back to the American stuff and this time in N scale.
This is really a layout to just watch the trains go by and will consist of a single running line in the High sierras based on the Donner pass and in the snow. It will be the current scene since the introduction of double stack container trains. It was these trains that really inspired me to take up modelling of the ' Dark side '
Don't expect to much to soon as I'm still building the Railway room and Ranelagh Bridge will always be the number 1 project.
Although I've just ordered my first bit of rolling stock, pictures will follow.
