  • A more detailed look into the track plan for Wolverton North my N Gauge layout. The layout will look to replicate 3 stations in all, Wolverton on the west coast mainline, Bridgnorth on the Severn Valley Railway and Loughborough on the Great Central Railway.

    This is gonna be a beautiful layout. Thanks for sharing. Dave

    What a fantastic unique plan that is and one ideal for N gauge. I started an ambitious N gauge plan 11 years ago and just now completing the last few modules. Nothing better to keep to grey matter in shape than a model railway. I look forward to watching this take shape.

      Hello Chris. Thankyou for watching. I will freely admit you have definitely been one of my major inspirations. I've thoroughly enjoyed watching your layout come together and am excited to see how close you are to getting a train to run around your complete circuit. These things take a long time but as you said they are great to keep the engineering brain working.

      @@thewolvertonworkshop well if you can maintain the standard you set with those buildings you will have an incredible layout possibly the best i have seen in N gauge. All the best

    I can't wait to see this progress. What a great project you and your son have ahead of you. Craig

    This looks like it's going to be very interesting.

      Thank you very much. It won't be a quick build but will be fun bringing it all together.

    Hi what a great project and it’s N gauge too! Really looking forward to seeing your plans turn into reality! Great to see another fellow N gauge channel and just subbed to your channel 😊 Cheers Gary

    Hello sir, I just across your video and was wondering how you were able to use a photo in Anyrail to do the opening scene of your video/ track plan. Can you please share

    • @thewolvertonworkshop

      Hello. Here is the way I add photos into anyrail. First from the "inset" tab add a rectangle, doesn't really matter about size at this point. Click on the shape and from the "Tools,Surfaces" tab you use the "load image" button which will then attach your chosen picture to the surface. You can then resize the image to suit. If you use the ruler and a known measurement on the photo you can then scale the picture to be the correct size. There is even a handy "Adjust outline" button that makes the rectangle change to be the same size as the picture. If that doesn't make sense let me know and I'll put a post together on my Facebook page with some screenshots.

    that's phenomenal! the first 150 subscribers to your channel will be invited to running sessions, right? ;)
    The lift-out section will be double-deck? (Is there a hazard of lifting it out without seeing a train on the lower deck?

    • @thewolvertonworkshop
      @thewolvertonworkshop  Před rokem +1

      Once the layout is functional like minded modellers will be more than welcome to come round for a running session.
      I have a plan for the liftout section. Yes it will be double-deck and it will be motorised. I'll include loco detection on the lower deck that will either disable the lift out from working or illuminate a big red warning light.

    Won't hold you to your answer but do you have a time frame in mind??

      It really depends on how quickly I can construct the actual building to house the layout. It’s not going to be finished any time soon and realistically its likely to be 4-5 years before all the base boards are installed and trains can run the full layout. However, I should be able to get sections of the layout completed sooner as well as some of the more technical aspects, such as the lift out, finished in the next year or so
