Formation of the track Formation - Parsley Sidings Inglenook shunting layout part 4

This is part 4 of my project, a 00 gauge Inglenook shunting layout
An inglenook layout is used as a shunting puzzle, and all will become clear as we go through the build process.
This fourth instalment will cover the baseboard formation and cutting and assembling the track panels
so with all the doom and gloom over Hatton's closing and no more Warley show, now is the time to get building a new layout

Looking good , and your videos have given me inspiration to do my own Inglenook shunting layout, as I have a modern flat and not much space ,so be perfect for me , also I've been lucky in the past to have done a real life ' Inglenook' with some shunting around the loco yard at a heritage railway I've been involved with and used the class 10 ( Blackstone deisel version of the class 08) , had to move some locos like a class 33 & 73 and a class 12 and some other wagons including a ex SR Queen Mary brake van , so that I could get one of our steam locos to the coaling road , very much fun and Working out the moves.

Sounds like you volunteered at Tunbridge Wells. I still do it as a job, but no longer in the UK and no longer involved in preservation

@@47606odin yes it's the spa valley railway, must be a great job diving trains in Australia.

@@ianstransporthistorystuff8175 yes and no. The railway where I am the scenery and routes is quite boring after a few years doing it. However, it pays the bills and allows me to keep playing model railways and buying stuff despite complaints from ‘er indoors lol. Well, I hope you have fun building an inglenook. Mines a bit longer than it needs to be as I want to be able to run round and play, but it all still fits on a shelf. Let me know how your build goes

@@47606odin will do and it's quite a small model, I used to work for BR back in the 1980s at Brighton and did station ticket office/ platform duties, and now I work at Gatwick as a airline check in agent now.

@@47606odin basing my railway on a small goods yard somewhere in the london north and some were between the midland and eastern regions , like the north london line , and not any given time period, so can run different locos and stock from the early grouping through to blue BR eras , as want to have this purely for fun.
