So many fine details, and the possibility to put it all away behind doors, when other things is going on down there.
Well done, and thanks for sharing !

What do you need bubble wrap and peanuts for Nick?
The inflow always exceeds the outflow according to your wife. 🤠
I have these plans to sell stuff... but... well... you know...

At Nick's suggestion I took a video using my iPhone - a little shaky trying to work the transmitter with one hand (tied down the valve gear on the Tx) and take a movie with the other.
Thank you Larry!! that video was very well done, especially if you had the transmitter in your other hand 8)
I'm looking at all the junk I've been saving in my basement (including bubble wrap and peanuts) and thinking I need to have a big clear-out and do something similar... 8)

LED's can be troublesome with video... Do you have a smart phone to try taking the video?

Looks like it can provide hours of fun.

I found out that my outside layout was great for about six months a year but not so during winter and/or inclement weather so I started trying to build one indoors. First try was on the floor under the O gauge layout which didn't work well for many reasons. Then I tried using one level of the workshop shelves which worked out well with the addition of hinged dust covers. The shelf is 2' wide and total overall length is 35' so it's a reasonable run in a dogbone shape with 40" and 80" radius curves using Sunset Valley 45mm track.

The station is a Thorley Miniatures (TM) kit that was kitbashed to alter its' shape to fit the area.

The goods shed is another TM kit which, like most of the other buildings, has had an interior and lighting added.
[attachimg=5]
Thorley's End, a TM kit, was fun trying to get something that looked like a set of levers included.
[attachimg=6]
The elevated building (TM) was built to add a little vertical element to the scenery.
[attachimg=7]
The coal stage is TM while the water tank is British Building Kits.
[attachimg=8]
The turntable is SwiftSixteen, a very nice kit.
[attachimg=9]
The engine house is TM, with quite nice detail included.
[attachimg=10]
The tavern (kit bashed from extras left over from station) and the coal dealer are both TM.
[attachimg=11]
The yard is strictly three tracks and even that was hard to achieve using the standard radii of 40" and 80".

The last picture is looking south from the north dogbone loop.
Hope you all enjoyed the somewhat overlong tour of the Overbrook Court Light Railway and will come back someday when I have a video - thanks!
