I have just moved into a new house and am planning a new layout called Wang. I just discovered this blogging thing and how easy it is so I've decided to share this story with anyones who's interested. Maybe a little bit about myself would be nice, so I'm a 41yr old single dad and have been modelling since I was given a train set when I was about 5. I stopped while I was in high school cause girls distracted me, but have been modelling ever since. I model N.S.W steam in the 40 & 50's, so mainly steam, in HO Scale. I use to be a member of the Warrimoo Model railway club. I have built about 5 or 6 layouts but none have gotten to the scenic stage. Here are some photos of my previous layout.

| my first attempt at scenery |
Wang is based on the line from Wallerawang to Tarana and the branch line to Oberon. The branch will climb up to a second level and will include both stations, Carlwood and Hazelgrove. Wang will be based on Wallerawang but will have a loco depot and a few extra sidings for some added shunting. I have designed the shed and the layout, (plans of which I'll post in the future) but as I can't start looking for work til next year it may take a while for the layout to begin. Until then, I'll be building more kits and finishing off the ones I have. I also have a 75' turntable which I'm scratchbuilding
