KydMoor Light Railway (009) LAYOUT NOW SOLD
|With the abandonment of "KidmorAPA" as being unsuccessful, a new layout was needed to run 009 stock.. It is intended that whilst a roundy, the layout will boast two distinct sides: a light industrial sawmill & a small typical narrow gauge type station (courtesy of a Scenix building leftover). The loop runs through both scenes with the potential to add a fiddle yard at a (much) later date (top RH corner of plan). Peco 009 setrack has been used throughout on a 3x2' baseboard
Virtually all locomotives are scratch built 3Dnylon bodies based on Kato 103 or 104 chassis.

River crossing. The intent is to hide the start of the river via a waterfall & overhanging trees. The river banks are constructed with Polyfilla mixed with PVA into a gloop. The bed has been given a coat of bitumen to assist "water" retention once added. Bridge sides are plaster casts & will be toned down once river colour has settled.
The following five images show the layout in its completed form.
