[Savage GT]

Knowing my father, the scenery will be sparse.
That's the one thing I would concentrate on on a model railway, but beyond that, I don't think driving the trains would be as entertaining as racing slot cars !
His chosen period/area is steam LNER. I already have plans to turn the rather poor looking hornby gresley teak coaches into something better with a lick of paint.
I acquired a rake of 5 used from ebay and will experiment with one (there were 2 brake coaches , so one is surplus thus no loss if I fail) to see if I can improve the appearance, if successful I will do the rest.

I forgot too mention the baseboard is 12x4 ft (probably going to split it into three 4x4 sections).
We are using Peco points and flex track for all but the fixed radius curves, which are Hornby.
