The Layout Thread

if you are going to add a foam extension, you'll need to protect it with something solid. why not just make the extension solid in the first place? it's way easier.

Looks really good! I really like the elevated track, like the one on my quarry. Here is what it looks like at the moment.

    Thanks Caleb!

           I love your quarry! Very Thomas-Like.

                Do you have any full aerial shots of the layout? I'd like to see how big and where everything is in comparison to each area.

Full shot right here.  The hopper is going to be on the track closest to the sheds, about right across from Bill. Also, about your layout, the bridge is looking really cool! I always liked elevated tracks, and underpasses.  What kind of ballast will you use?  Isn't working on a layout fun?

It's settled

If you get my meaning. If you don't,  Your quarry is amazing my friend!

lol, thanks! I get it.    Of course, more ballast needs to be laid, along with more rock mold on the sides of the cliffs, and lastly a hopper, but thank you!

Nice work guys on the layouts. Has anyone tried to actually build Sodor Island true to the story? I am planning a layout and hoped to find some examples of modeled Sodor. Any help would be appreciated. I have found maps on the Thomas sites but trying to translate them to an HO layout is not the easiest. Any thoughts?  Thanks.

depends on what your talking about, RWS or TV series? I'm still in the process of building my layout and it's going to be TV series based with some RWS references like I'm planning on putting FQC (Ffarqhuar Quarry Co.) and NW on the sides of some trucks, and putting some posters for the Talyllyn Railway, Isle of Man, Coronation Scot, and a poster for The Three Railway Engines on the platform of my station. so far i have Great Waterton, Brendam Docks, and Tidmouth Sheds. I want to add Anopha and maybe a narrow gauge line.
