train layout project

Bart · Post by **Bart** » Mon Jun 04, 2012 4:27 pm

its been a while since updated this but the layout is built and ive had it set up in the living room:sifone:
its not to the standard that i want, highly detailed but the development on this layout has stopped as my cercumstances are changing very soon which will give me a chance to build a MUCH bigger layout.

here are some pics of the layout before i took it down last night.
appoligise for the poor pics think had camera on wrong setting.

these 2 are my prized possetions, the top one is what my dad bought for me when i was 2 years old. these are worth a pritty penny indeed.
i love the Advanced Passinger Train (APT) shame BR didnt carry on with the development of this as was the first tilting train in the world.

i worked out how much my train collection is worth and owe my god, im not going to say how much BUT i could buy a cosworth and have it tuned with money maybe to insure it:smilielol5:

well that it for this one now and its been fun

depending on condition the old school stuff can be worth a bit.
the top APT set is worth about

Now youv`e gone and wet my appetite!
I have inherited this huge box of 1960`s triang (Hornby) minic race track with a OO gauge cross over section pictured on top of the red box. I still have a couple of boxes of railway track etc to pick up.Humm.......

Maybe i should book some time off and have a play.
I know bugger all about train sets (i never had one a child:(), But it looks like there are some people on here that i could always hopfully badger if i get problems?;)

ull have to lay them out and put up another pick
