Title: St Ruth - Isle of Stoner
Post by: Isle of Stoner on April 14, 2010, 23:08
I've started work on the next phase of my grand plan for the Isle of Stoner Railway. This is a 2ft x 4ft board which will have a distorted oval with a station with passing loop and 2 sidings, the line passes out of view at the back where there are a couple of storage sidings, an exit line to the next phase of the layout and also a branch line which turns sharply inside the main circuit and rises to a terminus at a lighthouse via a switchback. The station is located on the town square which sits directly behind the track and in front of the cliff with the lighthouse on.

I've got the main baseboard constructed, MDF on a 2x1 frame, and the ground level track is mostly laid.

I've been gathering buildings gradually and now have most of them finished. The lighthouse is still unstarted and is a Faller kit.

Pictures, plans and updates to follow.

This is a rough track plan.

Here are the buildings which make up the town square behind the station. Ignore the keyboard backdrop!
