My Railway track build, no slot cars here, move on !

The first picture is all of it .... Allowing me full access to the track beyond the tunnel portals for cleaning/maintenance etc.
I guess more correctly its more a lift off top than a lift out section Bigsmile

Its been a while, mainly behind the scenes work and thinking going on, but some nature has just appeared at the other end of the board (glue still wet) Bigsmile

All Base (scenery) are belong to us ... or I have now got the basics down. Sun

Don't worry the gaps in the middle section will be covered with the buildings.
So pleased I have hit this milestone, who knows the next update pictures could well have some actual engines and rolling stock in it Rofl

Sorry, not yet got the rolling stock in place, but managed a bit more today Wrench

I replaced the falling off backscenes after giving the MDF back boards a good 4 coats of paint/varnish.
Unfortunately, I made an error and ordered the standard stuff and it wasn't self adhesive, so we will see how it holds up or if I need to do it again Tappingfoot

A lot more to do, but its at least resembling a model railway now Rofl

Looking good. Thumbup

Designed from scratch by me, 3D printed by me and (nearly) finished by me ... its far from perfect but I am pleased with it !
It is meant to represent an ex workhouse re-purposed to a brewery for my layout:

Also finished up the coaling station plastic kit, done lots of painting today so excuse the missed bits Rofl

Pic heavy update landing !

Digital is now up and running, not yet sound and app based, but I may go that way in future (app looks a simpler way to control all the bells and whistles ... literally Rofl

).
I may get one of the Bluetooth Sound chips to try first as I am not sure if I will like the sound yet.

To do: More people, Signals and Detais,details,details. Along with vehicle paint/reaints, repaint shunter to a earlier, more appropriate livery and some wagon weathering + loads Rofl

I thought I had enough wagons, but now they are all on track, I think more are needed.

Anyhow, enough waffle, here are the latest pics (excuse blur on moving locos).
