theres the space we have to work with, from the flower bed to the raised layout at the other end by the tree with pink flowers on it, and to the left edge of the tramoline. and plenty of space to expand

Looks rather muddy. Have you had a lot of rain recently?

That area looks like the same width I have to work with

OK, Andy asked me on MSN to add to his sketch design, so he sent it to me,

but I took this to my advantage to practise some designing. So here it is:

Andy tells me that he will use the design, but change some bits so it will fit in the area!!!

I cocked that up!

,, dont worry mate, we dont have to leave space for the wheel barrow, the stuff that would go in the barrow can go by freight train.
thanks for the design, look fab

That's very good.

May I ask why there are two stations very close to each other? Is it set in London

They are on two different levels!

What the one on the edge of the pond, spectating area side, and the one which is to the edge of the spectating area are at diffrent levels, it's just seems that for quite a large railway you leave a passing loop, then enter another.

Anyway I look forward to playing trains at Andy's house when it's finished.

New plan,
I have decided not to build a big viaduct (yet), maybe later in life,

Looking easier than other ideas

yep, mainly because
llow budget

only have 7 weeks to get as much done as possible then its collage

dad wouldnt move the old layout, so i am just building a single line around the outside of it.

but the bit in the middle might not happen.

looks a good railway, plenty of running options

I am going with Andy's latest plan as it's a easier plan to do and its going to be possible to get some of it built during this summer. Track ordered from TrackShack and received on Saturday, timber ordered and due to come on Wednesday so hopefully we can then steam ahead with it.
