This isn't the first model railway I've built. Over the past 25 years or so, I've created and exhibited 8 different layouts. Either by my self or with a small group of others. This was the last one to be shown.
It started life as a small end to end, but eventually grew into a bit of a topsy. There lies mistake number one. If you plan on expanding something that is essentially complete, make sure you plan ahead. In hindsite, I would have taken better notes about what colours I used for the ballast, weathering, grass, etc. In the end I had to separate the new from the old with a set of arches and a bridge so the changes in pallet wouldn't be so noticable.
This project taught me many things. Hopefully I will avoid those screwups this time around.
