Relocated!


Huggy

Nothing reported here over a few months doesn't mean nothing has been done, honest! Besides a month-long trip to visit family in New Zealand and Australia (from which it took a while to recover!) before Christmas, I've got a fair bit done on Tillingham, and it now resembles a model railway - in my opinion at least - rather than a random collection of stuff on a board. Talking of opinions, I had hoped that transferring the latest progress to a thread in Layout Topics might elicit a bit more comment and spur me on a bit more, but although it's been viewed a few times, not a sausage as regards any kind of comment, encouraging or otherwise! It may be totally mediocre or boring, I have no idea (hope not) so thought I'd bang a couple of recent pics on here, and link it, and see what happens. I'd assumed it was more likely to attract a bit of attention in the open forums...maybe not! Here's the link:

or just search Tillingham in Layout topics. I'd really like to hear a few thoughts on how it's been going as I've hopefully learned a lot going along, and have particularly enjoyed getting to grips with landscaping, buildings and a bit of detailing, as well as putting in a couple more electrical feeds to iron out some faltering in the goods yard. It's been nice to have a bit of a play with locos and a wagon or two in the scenic section before I reunite the board with it's "fiddle yard" partner and crack on with the rest of the smaller stuff and do some serious running while doing so. More photos in the layout forum post.

Nice little layout Huggy - and it's starting to look like a real railway now.

I'd no idea that the steps were made from expanding foam packing material, until I looked back through your previous blog entries...

Reckon you need a concrete SR style platelayers hut to go alongside the track near the points, along with a SR groundframe/signalbox(and a SR loading gauge and crane for the yard maybe?).

Definitely the hut and ground level box (got the little Ratio one to build ready), a maybe on the crane, and ah yes I'd forgot about a loading gauge! :)  Thanks Steve, nice to get some feedback again. Well on the way now, and already hatching plans for something else...as you do!
