You could say that my model railway suffers from 'The Grand Old Duke of York' syndrome. That is to say that when it was up it was up, and when it was down it was down but in this case it was neither up nor down!
Let me explain!.. It lives in the spare room, approx 12' 6" x 9' 6", South facing with lots of sun. I'd just built my baseboards from the computer station clockwise around the walls to the door when I had to remove them because we were told that we were having double-glazing installed - (The property is rented). So down they came, and we waited, and waited, and a couple of months later we were told another six weeks.
To cut a long story short, we have now got double glazing, the house is a lot warmer, but we now have been told that we will be getting a new central heating system as well as the house being re-wired. no time frame for this though!
Never mind, I have decided to start building my layout even though I know it will have to be dismantled again in the near future. So with this in mind I will endeavour to make each individual 4' x 2' board modular with respect to dismantling later. This is my first layout, so it's one big learning curve.
See you soon...
