Hi all,
Allow me to introduce myself, I'm James a soon to be GWR modeller hailing from the South UK but living in Slovakia. I'm re-joining the hobby of modelling after over a decade of absence and have decided to go down the route of relative realism when creating this new layout as opposed to simply using set-track and such.
A friend of mine suggested that the Templot program would be of great use to me when it came to planning not only the layout but specifically making my own trackwork from templates moving forward, which is exactly the level of detail I'm looking for. Not only that but he also suggested muddling through the forum posts for additional information, so far I've had a browse through a few and I'm quite impressed, not just by the level of detail in the topics but the knowledge the community can provide.
My plan is to create an 1930's GWR Branch Terminus, and eventually branch line, with realism being the striving goal. I will use this thread to post progress and potentially questions for opinions and criticism. Please if you see or read something that you believe to be wrong, call me out on it, I will not be offended. I am here to learn and evolve, I'm also well aware this adventure will take months if not years to achieve it's goal.
Thanks for all the information provided here already and to that which is provided in the future.
(First progress post/information will follow this post)
