Well Mark, welcome back to model railway building! I've just come across your channel and like you I spent a long long time before committing to spending any money by watching Marklin of Sweden, Michael at Chandwell, Charlie at Chadwick and many many others. I went through the same process as you explained and settled on an N scale layout due tot he size of my shed space, and DCC as it gave me the opportunity to eventually go programmable. At 64 I had never built a model railway, not even had one as a child but in retirement wanted a hobby I could potter with during the winter months and stay out the missus hair! It worked and I have been hooked ever since. I rely on the community very much for advice and help, as well as looking for tips and ideas. Just ask and they will contribute. I intend to feature your channel on mine on my next video in the hope that those who are kind enough to follow me will follow you and do the same. I shall watch your progress with interest. Regards Steve
Hi Mark. Enjoyable video with helpful tips. My railway is fictitious N scale. I agree with you that doing section's at a time is good. I fell into the over ambitious thing. Like you now doing a 4 foot area at a tine. Keep up the good work. I shall have to catch up on your other videos. Cheers Julian.
