Let me say first of all I have no idea where this project is going or what it's final form will be.
It started by downloading one of Ray's old TS2004 layouts, - RM 1156 Uk. I thought I'd try changing a couple of things and then at some point an idea started to form in my head and I just sort of followed it along to see where it would go. I found some of shoves old buildings and I liked the look of them for a potential 'O' gauge layout. Shoves's licence is very user friendly so I modified one of the buildings, - a row of shops, - and converted into terrace houses and after that it all started to come together.
I wanted to stay with a particular colour and texture palette so I stayed with using shoves's buildings because as soon as I tried using anything else (with a couple of exceptions) it just looked wrong.
So this is where I'm up to:
So it's not really what Ray built anymore, but I did keep the station name, 'Lynborough'.
