Were you simulating a tornado or something, in the first picture?

here are some more pics of my layout.

Also i just ordered http://www.railway-models.co.uk/1302_1_1210269.html to pull my new intermodal container wagons

Edit: Also the signal switch box also has switches for all the isolating sections on the layout, that mean you can stop a train and isolate it so others can still run

Wow, that look complicated, thanks, Louie.
My pics are on the previous page, but I assume you've seen them :P

I've used isolated sections too when I've had mine set up, very useful (as with isolating points)

Edit: nice pics too, www!

You get used to all the switches and what they do. Yeah i looked at your pics some nice locos you got there, as you may of noticed from the links i have been posting i am currently expanding my rolling stock and locomotive collection so when we do eventually expand the layout i have even more to run on it. I am trying to convince my dad its a good idea to add a Diesel/Electric Loco service area where the current goods yard is and add a bigger yard else where for more modern freight stock as thats what i prefer to run rather than passenger trains, i love shunting and organising trains

Thats what train crashes are like. Higher the speed, the further it could get away from the track

Model railways are a bit of an expensive hobby. Each loco in my pics cost about £30, which is why I've only got 4. But its worth the money.

Louie, that gap in the boards looks a bit dodgy. I trust no trains have fallen through there?

Didnt we have a model railway thread once? :?
I suppose it doesnt matter since it says 'YOUR railway photos'

This isnt my pic, but its the railway near where i actually live
The GNER Eurostar, AkA - The White Rose, runs throught here, but doesnt stop unless a red light.

Its larger than the train station, and it doesnt stop to pick up, or drop of passengers. our station isnt that special! :D

Not yet no, It was intended to be a sunken river but my dad in his wisdom didnt leave enough room for us to model one, so its kinda just stayed at a gap now. there is another gap up near the station but that one is caused by a big pipe

use paper Mache, paint it sea/pond green and put clear drying PVA glue in it.

Do you have any Inclines on your layout? Such a layout as yours would be perfect for landscaping. I only wish I had the attic space you did. I have only Spiders, a big water tank and trusses in mine :(

Lets get some Pictures of you Class 158 and 153 :wink:

My attic's like that too unfortunately. It had a wasps' nest in there once too :shock:

I'd like to see those units too, Louie. I've always wanted a 158 but I do like my 156!
