Well ive decided to build a british layout again as ive been modelling american for 5 years and wanted a change. Its going to be based on the forest of dean as if some coal branches lasted into the late 70s (though there will be some 60s stock to give the panniers some work). Called 'Wyeford', the plan is to have a disused station (something you rarely see modelled?) with a grass covered platform showing signs of decay that trains have to run through to reach the colliery sidings. Its only an 8'x2' end to end layout but the announcements of class 14 and 22 hydraulics in rtr was too much to resist!
