So I've been talking about it for a little while so here's the earliest photo I can find. A slightly plagerised offering from the Peco setrack plan book. It's only 5' by 3' but the aim was it had to be small enough to take with me when we move as we only rent at the moment.

More photos to follow when I have more time. Constructive criticism welcome
