Negotiation of space in the home for our hobby
Obviously, layouts and modelling work requires space. Most layouts are made to fit the spatial constraints where they are, be this in a spare bedroom, loft, garage or shed. Modelling work can be rather messy at times as well as requiring some concentration.
New Eastbrook development
The coming months I will work on the New Eastbrook N-scale modules. I already scratch build some structures and some more will be made. As you can see I also have to lay some track.... This is the current status (March 4 2013) and the starting point of the New Eastbrook development :-)
