And because Westleigh is getting too big ive decided to begin a much smaller project about 7ft scenic section with a casstte fiddle yard. Its designed to go in the back of a small car and be operated by one person. Its going to be southern region but im not sure whether to have a convetional platform or have a siding and a cleaning platform. The juries still out but i have all the points so the costs of this should be less than a £100 to get to a reasonable state. Much cheaper than the £1300 of Wetbury.

A blog my layout i'm currently working on, modelling in general and the occasional whats annoying me today post!
The Welcome Mat
Welcome to this Blog. Hopefully you may find it of use (i doubt it but it doesnt stop me hoping does it?). All my skills are normally self taught, and at the moment i'm a lone ranger when it comes to my layout with the occasional help from friends (normally it involves alot heckling).
I've never yet got a layout really past the electrics stage. I normally lose interest which is why i've decided to become involved in lots of things so i can vary my time between different things. All the work you see on Westleigh is my own work and all the photos you see on my fotopic sites are again my own work. I'm amazed i havent started to play with it, perhaps leaving the vast majoirty of the wiring to the end helps.
My main interest in railways is principally the early 90s. Even though i only just got into double figures in terms of age just as privitisation came in, i find it a very interesting period. My earliest memories were at Salisbury, Oxford and Bristol. So to counteract this aswell i tend to model the northwest scene during 1990 to 1994. However i also do the Wessex area during the same period and the scottish lowlands during 1988-1990.
I do have a little interest in the 1996-1998 privitisation period. I'm more aware of this period than the sectorisation period and again i wouldnt mind if it turned into this era.
I also am working on a project of Devizes station in 1963/64 just before alot of the line was rationalised and eventually closed. This however is a very very long term project and probably wont get anyway for many many years yet.
I do spend alot of time in the summer out an about doing photography particularly of civil jet aircraft. I'm certainly no David Bailey but i'm reasonably proud of most of the photos taken.
Anyway i suppose i really should get off the computer and get on with some modelling work, except work has a tendancy to get in the way!

- I've been modelling on and off for around 10 years or so. In that time ive learnt alot but like all good modellers i'm still learning. I hope this blog may help those others who are still finding their way in modelling.
