I havent got anything planned for it and to be honest Im happy with that for now. We can talk about the London AG, I will send you my contact details ASAP.

Julia,

What an amazing difference a bit of ballast makes!!  Just out of interest what have you used (it looks suitably in scale)?

The auto train looks really good too.

Hello Ian.

 

Inspired by Tom E's blog a while ago http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/blog/347/entry-7572-ropley-d-day/ (thanks Tom) I used some 'Normandy Earth' from Treemendus http://www.treemendusmodels.co.uk/ which I am very happy with. The only difference was that I used the traditional PVA and Water mix to stick it down with.

 

The trackwork on Highclere actually looks like its part of the scenery now.

 

Julia

Yipee, I've been looking forward to your return to the layout. Lovely views, thanks for persisting with it :-)

Great to see you doing more on Highclere the ballasting looks a treat.

Don

Just beautiful and full of atmosphere.  Keep the updates and photos coming.

All looking very good Julia

 

I have a vague recollection that many blogs ago you wrote about that yard crane.  If I am remembering correctly, it was an etch and there was some talk of whether it could be made available to others.

 

I am in need of a similar crane for Tavistock and am not looking forward to doing it from scratch so if an etch existed and could be sold to other modellers I'm sure it would be lapped up.

 

Best wishes

Hello Folks

 

Thank you for the comments, I know its been a while since my last post and therefore the last work on the actual layout but my enthusiasm comes and goes for it so please be patient. For now anyway, its nice to do some more work on it and hopefully it will continue. Who knows, it might even make an exhibition or two in the near future!

Thanks John.

 

I sold the artwork for the crane to Nick T of N Brass http://www.nbrasslocos.co.uk/ so it would be worthwhile sending him and email. The last time I spoke to him, he was finishing off the artwork so it might appear sometime soon.
