A “First Layout” page appeared on the earliest version of my website. But as of 28th December 2025 I have added two pages about pre-history. The first to do with my OO scale layouts of childhood and teenage years and my second the first steps in N-gauge in my early 20s.

The layout was not based on any location. It incorporated a high level branch terminus with a loop and return loop underneath. One engine could run round and round whilst another shunted the station. The limitations soon showed up and the top board was never really rigid enough. The picture shows a view of the station.
