PS Michael – the woodwork site / plans are here.
(There are hundreds and hundreds of posts to enjoy and learn from – but the only way you’ll get to see them all is by being on the newsletter).
Barry’s made progress with his new Lionel layout:
“Alastair,
Here are some interim picture updates just to show you the progress but I’ve still got a couple of days left. Hope you like the looks of it. I’m planning my next projects already and it will be HO scale and entirely layers of 2″ foam to achieve an extremely light weight layout with several levels of track and tunnels and bridges.
I’m also going to start my own personal project that will be an HO scale and have a double track 48″ helix at each end and the lower level will stage an additional 6-8 complete trains.
Regards,
Barry”
Seeing Barry’ layout spring to life makes me realize how much I have to learn!
Anyhow, if you’re like me, there’s always here for more step by steps.

PS And don’t forget the ‘ebay cheat sheet‘!
“Alastair,
This is a Lionel “O” scale layout that I started a couple of days ago that I’m building to hopefully sell on Ebay.
It’s a simple figure “8” with no sidings.
I’m doing the landscaping with 2″ pink high density foam house insulation. There will be no buildings but (2) lakes and I will add schrubs and grass.
I’m trying to keep it very low profile for easy protective storage.
I put fold away metal legs on it for easy set-up.
I’ll be done in a few days and I will send you final pics of it then.
Regards,
Barry”
A huge big thank you to Barry.
Such a simple layout but it looks fantastic already.
It just goes to show, a layout doesn’t have to be complicated – just pick a theme and enjoy yourself.
That’s all for today folks.
Please do keep ’em coming.
And if today is the day you get started on your layout, the Beginner’s Guide is here.
