I'm just back from the Model Engineering Exhibition held at the Alexandra Palace venue and I must say what an inspiration. I've now decided my pretend railway will be gauge 1 live steam. Having no limits on cost or space I could go very large scale and make myself 20 acres of garden to play in but at those scales it might look like I'm trying to model full size but just getting it a bit wrong. At gauge 1 it should be obvious with the over sized flowers that it's a model.
I was looking at a layout at the exhibition and it occurred to me simple things like the track is going to be a real memory problem so I'm going to have to use some sort of modular system where I can make many instances to build from plus using deformers to bend the fixed lengths into the required plan.
So with that in mind I'll have to do some tests to see how efficient I can make it.
The progress here is a little slow as I'm just finishing up another project first it's a cutaway illustration of the Evening Star I'll do some test renders and post them here so there's something to see at least.
