  1. Hi there, First post and all that... I used to have a fairly large attic layout which I never really got to a useable state and ended up taking it down when we had to move due to my wife becoming terminally ill and our then house not being suitable for her needs. http://www.modelrailforum.com/forums/index.php?automodule=blog&blogid=77&" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; The house we moved to has a converted loft which would be ideal for a layout but my eldest daughter is quite likely to want "her own space" in a couple of years so the loft is earmarked for her. However, I've just cleared the garden or pretty much anything that could be cleared and what was originally considered to be quite a pokey little garden actually looks like a reasonable space. I'm planning to stay here for at least 15 to 20 years (youngest is 18 months and close to schools etc) so I've decided I would like to make the garden a bit more "me" Hence the layout idea. I kept back all the rolling stock I didn't want to part with and still have the Rocco wireless DCC kit. I'm unsure which magazine it was but a couple of years ago there was an article of a garden layout in OO that only had two round and round lines. No points at all. I like the the simple idea of having trains just rolling around rather than an intricate layout full of points. The layout was in like a raised brick section with I think, a concrete bed for the track. This is more or less what I have in mind. A bridge over a pond would be great or at the moment a bridge over an empty space until I can trust the nipper not to go throwing herself into it! Does anyone know which layout I'm on about? It would help me greatly if I could use the article as a reference. Got a bricklayer coming on the weekend, weather permitting to rebuild a retaining wall in the garden so will have a chat about what I'm thinking of.
