Hi,I have only very limited resources available for my layout, in terms of money and space. After a long web search, I came to the conclusion, that:<ul><li>British model railroaders are experts for small layouts in tight spaces</li><li>British model railroading stuff is a lot less expensive  than US or German outline equipment</li></ul>That´s why I decided to go for a British outline layout.My space is only 2´ by 6´, with detachable fiddle yards at both ends. The layout depicts a station on a two-track main, somewhere in a bigger city in the north of the UK. Though Glasgow sports a Argyle Street Station, I do not follow this prototype - just took the name. The track plan was influenced by designs I have seen in other forums. The layout´s objective is not so much on operation, but acting as a stage - sort of a functional diorama. All buildings will have to be scratch-built, which will give me hours and hours of modeling fun. Here is the track plan:<img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/ARGYLESTREETV10.jpg?t=1270990908" mce_src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/ARGYLESTREETV10.jpg?t=1270990908" width="1021" height="343">Construction of the benchwork ill commence within the next days. I don´t expect a quick progress, as I have to save up the necessary funds for each step. Getting the track and turnouts is next, but a big drain on the budget.This will be my 7th layout in my MRR career of 47 years.
