Coming along

My new railway is coming along well!  It will be O gauge three-rail and mostly will be based on British prototype, but occasionally other trains may feature!  The base is pretty much finished and I'm really happy with it.  Now the bearers for the table-top are being installed and all being well I hope to attach the first sheet of plywood for the layout surface tomorrow.


Initially the table surface will be left just in undercoat, which will make it easier to mark out where the tracks need to go.  I have been building the straight tracks, which come as a kit- basically sleepers and rails.  It's a fairly slow process, but the results are worth it!  The curves and points come ready made, fortunately.

Very happy with the progress!
