After attending the model railway show at Gaydon, and meeting my new friend Phil at his stall, I decided to build an inglenook layout using leftover 00 track and a locomotive from my childhood train set. Phil explained to me that this idea would be a good fit for me; I’m rather low on space in my living situation. He even recommended where I find the materials I needed - Torry’s Hardware in Warwick.
I took stock of everything I had, and then drew up some plans on a lazy Sunday morning. The design was original, but based on different ideas I had seen online. Later that week, I stopped off at Torry’s to pick up the supplies. While my girlfriend was rocking (?) out at a Yungblud concert, I got to work. Two hours later, I had my baseboard assembled and the outline of a layout was visible.
This are my first steps towards the building and ownership of a model railway. Onwards and upwards!
