Hi Mick Many thanks for the welcome, it's greatly appreciated. I understand your comments regarding the membership, and I will bare this in mind. I have a long road to travel with regards to developing, let alone running, my OO garden railway. Still, hopefully time doesn't currently appear to be to greater a factor for me. I appreciate your comments with regards to Ops, and I was pretty much thinking similar. However, I do like things a little on the elaborate/moderately complex side! My current plan is a phased build, finally ending up with a Y formation layout. Each branch is likely to have a covered loop and fiddle yard, which will have grade separation access. The space in question is perhaps 20m x 8m, I should mention that the space also has a natural slight gradient in places. As the name eludes too, "Pemburgh Jct" the middle uncovered section will comprise of low speed switches. I am looking for a layout with both semi and full automation DCC functionality. I'm planning on operating DCC converted Lima loco's. Hopefully, I'll be able to achieve great things, still no real rush. I'll post the initial Anyrail6 Track plans once I have been able to fully measure/survey the proposed site (Hopefully Late Oct/Early Nov for initial plans) Regards Eddie - Pemburgh Jct

Hello After being absent from the hobby for quite a number of years, I am very much looking forward to rekindling my childhood interest. For quite sometime now I have been contemplating a OO garden railway, predominantly as a tribute to the memory of my late father. So much so that I pretty much have the plan in intricate detail running around my head. I do need to get this down on paper, and I plan on putting my thoughts into AnyRail 6 at some point soon. However, this project of mine is actually quite a bit bigger than that, as I am in the fortunate position of being able to remodel my whole garden. I am comfortable with the modeling layout software I have chosen, however, I would greatly appreciate any advice, recommendations, regarding a landscaping software package. It does need to be free, as my planned ventures won't be cheap, and any funds spent on software just reduces my budgets for landscaping/modelling etc. I'd greatly welcome any advice, thank you in advance Eddie Pemburgh Jct
