This additional line would take the little red trolley train which is parked at the right station. I have thought about adding a 5cm raised viaduct down the middle of the table with arched market stalls under the viaduct using some Kibri kits and more 4% risers but only going half the height. Also add a large station on the left side (next to the canopies), and eventually a town over the rest of the layout. I intend to build a mountain on the near right side of the table which will add visually with 5 tunnels. Whilst I think it looks great and have tried to add some height with the high speed trains going up a 4% incline to a 9 cm raised viaduct, it kind of looks boring after a while with 5 trains just going around and around!! The majority of rolling stock are Lima “DB” German engines and carriages (plus the TGV “visitor”). My issue is I have limited space 8 foot by 6 foot and have tried to cram as much as possible 5 live DC tracks and 3 sidings (for later when I convert to DCC). Have been keeping an eye on all the wonderful and yet simple layouts from you members and hoped to get some advice from them. If you can help him, please do leave a comment below. Pete has also made a start – but now he’s at one of those head scratching moments. I know some will let out a deep sigh because there’s no trains or scenery – but he’s made a great start and that’s good enough for me. Starting really is the unsung hero of this hobby, which is why I’ll continue to post pics like this. Like most things in life, that’s what this hobby is all about – starting.
