Frame Design and Construction

After considerable thought I decided on an around the wall with an island design, as can be seen in pictures the bench near the window is 100 cm 39.5" x 60 cm 24" , on back wall insert 1 50 cm 19.75" x 50 cm 19.75", the centre island is 150 cm 50.125" x 60 cm 24", insert 2 50 cm 19.75" x 50 cm 19.75", bench along west wall is 190.5 cm 75" x 450 cm 17.75" and stands 130 cm 51.125" high. All materials were on hand from previous projects. Cross supports were cut to size and drilled to allow wiring.

Barry Oz Railway

Brief History.

As a child I did not have a model railway or any hobbies due to circumstances beyond my control. Yet the sight of model railways made me curious and fascinated.

Fast forward to January 2011, after some discusions with my financial controller it would be good for my health to have a hobby. A hobby that would keep me on track/s.

I searched the internet for articles related model railways and subscribed to Model Railroad Hobbyist magazine (TM) http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/magazine and decided my childhood desire  would become reality.

To test my decision to enter the hobby I scratch built a HO building and decorated it. This project was very satisfying.
