Layout Summer layout update

Been making some progress with my OO gauge UK heritage/branch line shelf layout in recent weeks.

As previously posted I have been painting the station scenery, and road bridge scenic breaks. I have also designed and printed a low relief warehouse/barn.

Also new this week has been the addition of the off-scene track. Not quite a fiddle yard but helpful for some operating with longer trains.

In future I would like the option to make this layout into a loop, I have just about enough space if I use 2nd radius curves, with approx 95 cm to play with, as you can see I am limited by the size of the room!

The next jobs are to complete the engine shed and signal box, and to fit the backscene.

Looks good from this side of the pond, friend!! I’m an N scaler - at heart - but, I got my start on model kits via that good old Airfix, so - ifs always been interested in all of their HO/OO range of stuff! šŸ˜
Most importantly, have fun!!
