Construction
The design allows access to most areas to be accessed easily. This is achieved by the scenery sections all being built on individual removal boards and to reduce the weight 10mm foam board has been used as the base for each section. This allows each section to be removed easily to access any track underneath and also allows the model to be moved without having o rebuild from scratch each time (The layout never leaves home, but sometimes the homes move!).
The buildings are mainly Metcalfe Kits, modified and extended with some scratch building as are many of the bridges and tunnel entrances as well as the Castle, which is also a number of Metcalfe Kits joined with additional scratch built sections.
