Cottingfield has a number of distinct scenic areas and a lot of variety in a small layout. Changing from the TMD, to the industrial estate, to the farmer’s fields.
The building of a lot of these items are documented on the Youtube channel for Cottingfield. As a result, if you subscribe now you can see handy ‘how to guides’ showing every step of the kit builds. Also on YouTube are a number of videos showing the build of the layout as it has gone on.
Why not have a watch and see the transformation? So you can see how Cottingfield went from blank boards, to a total mess, to what you see today.
Key Modelling Tools
I’ve put together a few pages that hopefully you will find useful on the tools and items I use. A key theme throughout these guides is that this doesn’t have to be an expensive hobby. Because many of the items I use are either free of can be picked up for just a few pence.
Part 1. Tools for Railway Modelling – Painting.
