The Oxney Island Line - from the begining again. 29/10/09 10:53 PM (permalink)

I thought I would take the oportunity to start again. A brief history in pictures of the Oxney Island Line.

I started with the station loop. This is on a wall about 2 ft high which gives a nice working height. The foundation is lightweight blocks settled onto sharp sand.

I like long trains and the layout is nearly level to enable this. <message edited by stockers on 22/05/10 04:41 PM> Attached Image(s)
