Progress since easter

Posted on 2 May 20212 May 2021

As I suggested during the Easter weekend virtual event, my sm32 system could grow and indeed it has. Simon has some video of a test train running along the extended system which now forms an end to end layout approximately 35 feet long which is set up on a garden wall. I hope he will be able to add that to this post.

At one end is the shunting puzzle game 8’ long, and at the other a new station 7’ long. Linking these are two straight sections of track on ply boards which are supported within straight sections of my O gauge test trackwith a small bend at the centre. Joining the to ends to this straigt section are curved sections to take note of the curvature of the wall. None of this is intended to live outdoors.

Shown below is the station section a couple of days ago and this morning with the platform painted.

Phil.

    I really like this. I’m very tempted to have a shot at a 16mm micro-layout, your station is very space-efficient and the platform looks great already… looking forward to seeing how it develops.

      Thanks Simon,

      I have just been in the workshop adding ballast to the second station board. May get a Model Town station building and station master’s house for the platform.

      I keep wondering how to do ground cover in 16mm. Needs to be light.

      Phil.
