An (almost) blank canvas

I wanted to post a couple of 'before' pictures, well, not before pictures as that would show the original side of the layout that i was never really that happy with. I've never understood my dads fascination with these pissy little stations every few inches, i'll be removing (re-developing would be a better description) these as time goes on.

Insted i'll post a couple of pictures i took just after the new windows were put in and i actually decided i wanted to do this. That viaduct looked really nice across the first window (the one with that green piece of wood and the chicken wire in the first picture) but i decided to actually build a higher level across the gap so i can have some hidden sidings below actually running onto the window sill. That means putting the viaduct where it is curently standing (second picture) across the middle window.


















The third window is where i threw everything and is a mess right now, but i need to extend the board out in line with the door before i really decide what to do with it. I have decided to move the ruined castle here though as it's lost where it is.




This weekend though, it's all about trying to figure out what the fuck i'm actually doing after diving in headfirst last week and trying to build the new part of the high level without really thinking it through properly. I'm also going to paint the rails a rust colour.

I live a Rock n' Roll lifestyle for sure.. So much so that i'm sitting here on a Friday night when i should really be in the pub. Oh well.
