O gauge layout project
Hello everyone. I’m an o gauge modeller called David and Col Stephens of this forum has inspired me with his layout Halstead - thanks Terry! Mine is not quite finished but almost. It represents an imaginary station on a real railway - the Basingstoke and Alton Light - as it was in 1936 just before closure. Winslade is a real hamlet beside the railway but never had a station in real life. In this scenario the line has been cut at Winslade and served the North Hants Co-Op siding. A skeleton passenger service operates - currently with a Drewry railcar as operated by the Southern in the 20s. Lots of finishing work to do including some fencing and station fixtures. Had my first exhibition today which has inspired me to crack on with completing things….Last edit: by Harbottle

Welcome. Great looking layout. What are the dimensions? Any chance of a look at the fiddle yard (and dimensions)?
Dimensions? - gathering data for an analysis of small layouts in various scales.

Bit closer to you - Banbury and Cheltenham Direct. Which was really two branch lines until the avoiding line was built at Kingham.
Thanks for the dimensions, it just shows what you can do with a few square feet and one turnout (point). I'll have a proper look when I can get on the computer and rotate some of the photo's. If I rotate the Kindle so does the photo. Neat sector plate.
Can I share a couple of photo's with a friend of mine? Half his basement is bigger than my condo, but he is a fan of small layouts (unlike most empire builders over here who try and model 150 miles in 20 x 40 feet).
