Hornby Class 156 on Dales Peak

Trackplan
The trackplan is continually evolving and I enjoy planning the layout as much as building it. The plan is drawn up in the Adobe 'Illustrator' software on my Apple Mac G4 computer. 'Illustrator' allows me to draw the plan at an incredible 1 to 1 scale. The plan was then divided into 200mm squares which I can print out individually. These are then pasted directly onto the layout to give me a guide to work to.
