86902 Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 I made the shed smaller than the previous attempt so more of the yard is on show. I've had to use some modellers licence but it looks the part. Plasticard structure is built but still a lot of work inside and out to do. The backscene also requires more security fencing. The antenna mast is from PH designs and is still in build, cabling and detailing to add yet, then paint the receiver faces. More work continues on the hard standing in front of the shed. A picture of the layout at this stage, and a couple of fitting stock item pics 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir douglas Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 a shame to cover up that hand built track with concrete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
86902 Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 It was a test to see what it was like to build, I still have long points and a track flow that I wanted. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

86902 Posted July 16, 2017 Author Share Posted July 16, 2017 2 Network Rail 57s are going through the weathering steps, I have renumbered one and kept the other as57312 with added nameplates. Plenty more left to do yet on them, also the chassis are to be stripped for weathering. Both are fitted with lenz silver chips. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crisis Rail Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) a shame to cover up that hand built track with concrete Some good stuff going on here - attention to detail on good subject matter. Yes - maybe could've got away with PECO finescale when sleeper spacing scale is irrelevant on hardstanding.

86902 Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 Thanks guys Yes Ian agreed, but as above this is a test bed for hand built track for another layout so why not! Cheers Bob 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Bob Superglue on to MDF works well for rail strips - as long as you make sure the correct spacing is attained before curing. Ian Not sure about this method for points though......

86902 Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 I wanted the sidings to have a unloved look about them, I borrowed a Noch static grass machine off a mate and set about building the tufts up using 4 different coloured grasses and different lengths. I also found some ready made tufts and weeds for the war game market online and planted these around the depot, and used woodland scenics flock to build up the bushes.

86902 Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 Thanks Cav I still have lots of lighting features to put in and bring the shed to life. The multi coloured led set was worth putting In Cheers Bob 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
