As if the photos of the layout were not good enough... your sketches are brilliant.... I like the thought that has gone into the design, especially the idea of hiding the fiddle yard "inside" of the scenic sections for storage of the layout.
I was surprised to see, in the most recent photos, how little track figues in the scenic section - the smart angles for the initial photos hide that fact.
Well done, thank you, Graham
Beautiful simplicity and very clever use of space. I thought there was an architectural bent to you judging from your other layout in-progress. Are you an urban residential specialist?

Great, all we need now are for a few well-established malingerers from the back of the class to try it out!Thanks Simon...With this entry, I believe I have now cracked it...
Ah, the 'Classic' view of Kyle of Lochalsh....
Not me, Sir..!!Great, all we need now are for a few well-established malingerers from the back of the class to try it out!
Y'know it took me years to realise there was a whole 'other side' to that Station, beyond the approach ramp
Do you have a picture of it departing without you, too?This was the view looking the other way, signal "off" for our train:
LO Pete. Welcome from another newb to this site - great photos of great models!
Thanks for answering the photography question Pete... but the layout was photographed in natural light with a Nikon D3100 on a tripod....

Thanks Steve - All my layouts seem to go through this process...its a type of 'thinking out loud' kind of approach and I think its always good to question ourselves and what we are doing - I would try and bounce the ideas off my wife...but she is 0% interested in my train stuff...at least she is tolerant of it though...Thanks for answering the photography question Pete
Love the sketch book photos and the story of the build through mock ups etc, really interesting to see how you went about it
The August 1980 issue, in fact (yes I still have mine!)... Chris Ellis did a whole series of "Scottish" articles, including pictures of Kyle, and the Loch Tay branch, and converted a Lima Class 33 to a 26.I think it was Model Trains mag back in the '80s that first mooted the idea of using half the station as a layout idea...
