    Planing to build a layout called Caister (Where my Mum lived) when we finally are allowed to move house.
    Was moaning to the wife about not being able to start anything and she suggested I make a small part of the layout, so I have decided to start with a loco shed on a 97x35cm plywood base. Hopefully I can then fit it as a module into the grand plan when I know the overall space available.
    Hopefully I will have 14x9 foot in an insulated garage.
    Track ordered and baseboard is ready!

    Here is the plan for the locoshed module.
    The middle two roads are where the shed will go, two sidings below that are for locos to sit and be admired.
    The top line will have the coaling stage...

    Managed to order the track for the Loco shed yesterday, website - "all in stock".
    Plotted out the plan on the baseboard then got an email today saying it's not all in stock!
    Annoyed to say the least.....Osborns models.......
    Guess I will be waiting until the Peco factory reopens...sometime this year!

    Here is how it fits, exactly as anyrail said it would.
    The white paper at the top right is actualy the other point template upside down to save printer ink!

    Try Hattons for your track. They usually always have stock.

    Looks very interesting.
