After a lengthy amount of thought I have decided that I have gone as far as possible with Langstead Junction. It’s time for me to start on something new. I’ve got some pretty big ideas and ambitions of what I’d like to achieve with a new project, and for this I need a blank canvas.
Rather than just cannibalising the layout I’ve spent the last 3 years working on, I’ve made the decision to put it up for sale, in the hope that it can bring some joy to someone else.
I’ve attached some pictures of Langstead Junction in it’s currents state bellow, but if you’d like to see more images and videos you can of course review the whole story from scratch on this blog!
In brief the layout features:
Power & Setup:
Please Note: No rolling stock will be included in the sale. I’m keeping that for my next project 😉 If you’re interested and would like to know more or to discuss a price please get in contact. I can sell the layout with or without the controllers, both from Gaugemaster, seen bellow. Please be aware the buyer would need to pick up the layout themselves from my flat in East London and would require an adequate vehicle to transport it.
Figures are probably the easiest and cheapest way to add detail to your layout. Just adding a couple will help tell a story, or bring a diorama to life. These two chaps are getting ready to hoist a load onto an incoming wagon.
The figures are set 14016 (Delivery Men) from Preiser and cost me £7.25. The chain was cut from an unwanted necklace and was painted a dull grey.

So I’ve long been promising an insight into what I’ve been working on lately. But first a bit of background: Langstead Junction is on hold. The reason for this is two-fold.
It’s high time for a layout update, and you may remember back in the summer I did a roundup of Langstead’s complete story from start to finish…
…At the end I hinted towards what was happening next: Construction of two new upper tiers, a tube station and a small yard above that. So let’s back peddle slightly to how I arrived at the picture above.
