Tony’s been in touch with his latest – a model railway snow themed layout. There’s also a vid too:

“Hi Al

Another winter and another year older, so why not have another go at a bigger layout.

Got my handyman friend in to build the framework, my previous ones involved old door frames fastened to battens around the walls (not ideal living in a mobile park home!) so this time nothing is touching the walls!

Also whilst awaiting hip and knee surgery (I am 75) have decided no more under the layout for wiring.

As I am using DC I found it quite easy to hide wires to the control box and happily run two loops.

This layout enables me to put more landscaping and activities to enjoy and for photo opportunities, I love little scenes..

I have used expanded foam sheets for the base, I find it easy to affix scenery , trees etc to it.

A pretty basic approach to model railways for me, I have no experience with electrics and despite following copious videos on the subject still cannot get lighting to work for me. Still that’s for another winter.

Soon hope to be pottering around in the greenhouse growing my vegetables! Hope you all enjoy the photos !

Regards

Tony”

A huge big thank you to Tony for sharing his latest model railway snow themed layout.

You all know how much I like a layout with a theme, and you don’t see many snowy ones. Tony’s done a fab job.

You may remember him from his last layout, because Tony is the genius who put a race track through his last layout.

That’s all for this time folks.

Please do keep ’em coming.

And if today is the day you get started on your layout, the Beginner’s Guide is here.

Best

PS More HO scale train layouts here if that’s your thing.
