Is a model railway ever really finished? Probably not, you will always look at it whilst running trains and see something you could tweak here and there but I have to say my layout in the workshop is for all intence and purpose finished!

As you know space is an issue so it’s a country branch line based in the early 1960’s and is about 12 feet in length and at its widest point 2 foot. As you can see I’ve tried to pack as much on as possible without overcrowding the layout.
So above you can see the main station area of HORBY and guess this shows what you can pack into a small space. As well as the station you can see engine shed, coal staithe, water tower, good shed and cattle Dock!
Oh and a yard!








Couldn’t resist putting this iconic Supermarine Spitfire on the layout, incase your wondering it says Jinty 73 behind which is the engine number loaded in to my controller.
So there you have it, probably taken countless man hours over around 4 years to get to where the layout is.
Next time, update on SHIREBROOKE STATION early thoughts on SHIREBROOK COALING STAGE and how about an N gauge shelf layout?
Good modeling.
