coombe junction - moorswater

Very nice Pete.

 

Have you had to push the LH building a little further away from the track for clearance?

Wow - excellent work as always Pete!

 

Cheers, Mike

I am really impressed by the overall character of the model, nearly as good as being there!

Jamie

Wot they said..... it is really looking good Pete. I was worried that Monday's work had been detrimental to the result... but it looks fab here so I'm guessing that you recovered well.... G&T can do that can't it [pauses for sanity check ... and carry on].

The atmosphere that you're creating here looks wonderfully balanced... keep up the good work Pete.

Excellent work Pete! It's comng along very nicely indeed!

 

Tom

That is now starting to look really good Pete, the photos you have taken at ground level are really starting to give a feel for how its going to look.

 

Missy

To add an echo... .. that is coming together very nicely - thanks for the insight into the initial marking up of the carcass

 

(PS - its good to see you back in the land of the 'real' scale, not faffing around with those big toy trains... )

Great stuff Pete. Superb composition.

Regarding the circular building various sizes of waste pipes drainpipes etc can form a usefull base which if you use offcuts don't have to be removed. Sizes go roughly 22mm, 34mm, 44mm, 65mm, 80mm and 106mm.

Don

Thank you all for the kind comments - helps keep the mojo well greased

 

A few comments in response...

 

Kris - I have tried to keep the LH building as close as possible (as the hoods will have been loaded from this side) but still be able to let a loco pass by...even though in reality, it was Sharon doing all the running-a-round (No gags please )

 

Jamieh - That's the impression I am trying to recreate so many thanks.

 

Steve - assume you are referring to the 7mm stuff...I won't be drawn on that

 

Don - Thanks...next time I do a site inspection I will have my eyes peeled for an offcut of Plumbers 44mm waste pipe...

Evening Pete,

 

Absolutely brilliant.

 

I love the sense of perspective you've achieved with the dries Pete.

 

Certainly no mistaking the location and it takes me back to a warm overcast day in Cornwall last September with a FL 66 shunting some PCA's. Great photos of the 37/66 but as Missy says the ground level shots give a feel for the layout.

 

I personally think this is going to be one of those layouts that inspires others and is used as an example of true finescale modelling. And no I haven't been drinking G&T's either!

 

Nice work Pete-the Mojo is in full swing and thanks for the 66 photos.

 

Cheers,

 

Mark

Mark, hi

 

Go steady with the compliments

 

That's nice of you, many thanks - Don't forget that you were instrumental in getting all those detail shots of Moorswater dries for me last year, so I hope the layout won't disappoint when finished.

 

When that Dapol Bubble arrives, I will probably focus my attention back on the station area as I don't think they ever made it down to the dries...a few trees will be making an appearance no doubt

 

Pete
