Ah, that's quite alright. No, I will not be including that kit on the layout, but I may purchase it to use for smaller sets

Anyways, if anyone is interested on seeing Knapford in action...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eols7tWyYt8

Thank you! I will have Tidmouth sheds, but not the roundhouse. I have a Bachmann Scenecraft shed I'll be using And the second station in the photos I've uploaded is Knapford

Short video anyone?

Thank you very much! And yes it is

Thank you! I'm modelling mostly based on the RWS illustrations by Clive Spong, but I'm also adding my own touches here and there

Thank you very much! Hopefully there will be more by the end of the week

Over this past weekend, I've managed to basically complete the Wellsworth and Knapford sections of the layout. Here are some pictures, and I hope you enjoy

Here you can see that I have more backdrop to complete

You can see how close together the two sections truly are

I LOVE what you've done with the lighthouse!  That path you made leading up to it was a very clever idea. 

You've done great with landscaping so far, I'm very impressed.   Mind posting your track plan of your layout? 

Thank you very much! I don't have a track plan made up at the moment, but I will be out of school by the end of the week so I will try to have one up soon

Thank you! And not at all, be my guest!

Hello, fellow modelers I've been working on my layout quite a bit over the past few days, and with all the track work completed I've been working on landscaping. Knapford is my main focal point at the moment, and I thought I'd share some photos








Any comments are welcome and appreciated!

The "coughing" wasn't necessary...and I was not aware of that. Point taken

Remember though that HO Scale locos with eight drive wheels can't typically maneuver 18" radius curves, so that could eliminate Hiro as a choice unless Bachmann decides to break their trend and create locos with greater radii restrictions.

"CGI animated escapades with the famous little blue engine, based on the much-loved books by Rev W Awdry. Henry and Hiro are both very strong engines, but one day as they are working together they both start to billow dark smoke from their funnels. Duck tells them that they must have taken on some of the bad coal that was delivered that morning. Henry is worried that the bad coal will damage his firebox, while Hiro wants to keep on puffing and deliver their heavy load on his own. Will Hiro be able to manage without Henry's help?"

My life has meaning once more.

I'm 16, and like Anthony I don't think I'll ever grow out of Thomas and the hobby
