Making a start in N Gauge Model Railways

What is Rule 1?

“Rule 1” of model railways is simple:

“It’s your railway, run what you like!”

It’s an unofficial rule that means you don’t have to stick to real-world accuracy—if you want Smokey Joe pulling a GWR coach past a Scottish signal box, go for it!

And if something doesn’t turn out to plan, that’s fine too. Enjoy the hobby your way.

This is my journey of experimentation, as I attempt to build something fun.
