Another excellent layout, Mike. I've found with ballasting, that less is more, especially on a branch line. A trick I picked up for ballasting points is to set them on a piece of packing or similar sticky tape sticky side up and ballast them before you put them in place, trimming around the edges of the ties. If the tape interferes with the throw of the points, you can trim that bit away. Lovely thing about Peco is with the detail around the points you can't see if there's any ballast there anyway. I love those Gaugemaster backscenes. Unfortunately, the local vendor who dealt solely in British railway items I used to visit at the local shows has taken retirement and shut his business.

It really is amazing how a simple small layout can bring so much operating potential. You don't need a marshalling yard with multiple kickback sidings in order to have fun shunting.

Well done Mike, this looks great and has a prototypical feel to it. Meanwhile poor Mrs Budget has been sent to the local tip shop to hoover-up secondhand track for your project 😮 As regards transport to exhibitions I think that you could go the way of Wallace & Gromit (or George & Mildred!) and get a sidecar for your motorbike. With a little ingenuity the layout could easily run off of your motorbike battery via a couple of long leads. Whaddya think?😊 Thanks for sharing and best wishes to you, Dudley
@BudgetModelRailways2 ай бұрын
Great idea but it's only a slow 125 so a sidecar would bring it to a standstill lol

Your more recent small layouts have given me hope for my 13'x41' loop layout I'm making right now. Using a mix of Kato unitrack and random bits of n scale track I had. Will be running both n scale and 009 on it. With 6' radius curves I'm going to only be able to run small train, but I'd rather run small locos than no locos haha. Keep making vids!

Lovely, as always. I do ballasting on my layouts because it helps me switch my brain off after a busy day. The glue does get in the wrong places, though, so this negates the calming effect 🤔. 2nd radius helps with coupling too .

I tend to use Kato unitrack and normally add ballast for a more realistic look. Nice that I have a lot of fine grade sitting on the shelf - no additional cost. Most of my shelf layouts have 40’ wagons on them and the curve with a long enough head shunt allows me to add one extra wagon to the mix. I’ve never purchased or painted a back scene. I’ll give Gauge Masters a look. And again, nice video presentation of your concept.
