d&h Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Here is my latest modelling attempt, it can be operated as a self contained shunting layout with the option of end to end running and seeks to portray the Withered Arm in the last days of steam, although might look out my class 22. .The layout is built on an old notice board (590mm x 400mm) with the track pinned in place; although the board may seem a little big for the track layout, the extra space allows the track to be set into the landscape rather than dominating the baseboard.As ever there is still much more to do including detailing the station and water course. Thanks for looking and Merry Christmas. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_J Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I really like the sense of space you've achieved here. Nicely rural, and typical of country stations that were often a mile or more away from the villages they served.

d&h Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 Thanks for all the nice comments, I've done a bit more in the station area but there's still lots more to do. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d&h Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 I've done a bit more to the layout, more grass and a new tree. Still lots more to do including painting the telegraph pole and adding scenery behind the station. Thanks for looking. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

d&h Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 Just a quick update. Still lots to do including tackling the stream, sourcing a ladder for the signal and adding platform detail. Thanks for looking. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke the train spotter Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 It’s a very well planned layout. It looks nice and deep and very convincing. A matching backscene would finish it off nicely creating a smooth transition between model and the surrounding countryside. Beautiful layout! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Sweet pea Posted May 8, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 8, 2019 Like others have mentioned. You have planned and modelled this layout nicely. The scenery work is very good, looking forward to your next instalment. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
