Good Morning , I am a bit late to the scene ,i retired over a year ago and always wanted to build my own model railway,the only space i have available is a single garage and it is a bit smaller than standard ,15ft 6in x7ft ,i should just about get the curves around if i hide them with scenery,buildings ,etc, Your layout has given me some great inspiration,fantastic work ,thanyou.

Excellent, love a good modular railway 😉 Great to see the return of New Junction!

So glad you’re back!!! Have been waiting for this and can’t wait to see how it turns out!! An idea for the layout could be a fiddle yard on the lower level (under your current baseboards) giving you as much scenic space as possible on the top level... a small branch line to a little single platform country station could be an interesting scenic point too, if you didn’t think it would be too much what with the heritage railway!! One tip I will say with the heritage line is to make it look very much separate from the mainline because it will create that added bit of realism with regard to it looking like a completely separate line and not hugging the main line too closely, emphasising the effect of it being a reopened Beeching closure that went to a different destination - just an idea from experience! The very best of luck to you and hats off on the progress so far - it looks amazing!! I look forward to the next few years entertainment! Many thanks, and best wishes, Oisín

Brilliant news on the new build Rich 👍 Richard have you thought about building a stud wall inside of the garage door? And plaster boarding the roof? I know it’s more ££££money on top of ££££money but it will make the area more homely and warm for you. Also if you do think about doing it do it as soon as before you start on the railway

@@NewJunction Not really. I'm usually too impatient and want to run trains. The parts where I've done scenery, I've typically weathered the track, then painted with cheap acrylic paint, usually either gray or brown depending on whats going there. So the closest I've come to treating it is basically bog standard acrylic paint that costs about $1 at Walmart here in the USA. Now my layout is sitting in a reasonably climate controlled basement, so you might want to treat it if thats recommended for where you live. The only baseboard issue I have ever had was one board needed a bit more support, and again that was down to me going, ah I'll add that leg later and got side tracked running trains. :)
