← The Layouts

Example: Ashcombe Junction

Ashcombe Junction is where it all started: a board on trestles, a circle of track and a box of engines. Write the real story of your layout here: what inspired it, the mistakes along the way, and what you’re proudest of.

Describe how the layout grew: the first oval, the moment it got a junction, the evening the station building finally went in.

Track plan

Add a photo or drawing of the track plan here: a scan of a sketch works perfectly.
