Together we will build a small piece of model railway in 3 parts, which looks great on its own or can be incorporated into a carpet railway or larger system. You can look over my shoulder the whole time when it comes to many of the basic aspects of model railways: subsurface design, track laying, terrain construction, tunnels, bodies of water, grassing and detailing. The next part will be on this channel in about 4 weeks.
