Toftwood Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Hi all, We have Sudbury MRC's Cornard Layout appearing in the June issue of BRM. Has anyone seen this layout at exhibitions? If so, we'd love to hear your comments so we can print the best in the magazine. Here are a couple of pictures to jog your memory...

Administrators SteveCole Posted April 4, 2012 Author Administrators Share Posted April 4, 2012 Hi Toftwood, Great pictures. Can you give me a few brief comments on what you thought about the layout: any elements you particularly liked? We can then print the comments alongside the article in the magazine.

MinZaPint Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Lovely detailing, perhaps too many vehicles and whilst Thomas may be great fun for the kids, I would leave that out. Just my old fuddy duddy thoughts! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toftwood Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 A couple more.... I particularly liked the detailing in the woodyard. the stacks of wood, the general dross of a working yard..! Other detail that caught my eye was the shoring to the side of the demolition/bomb site. It matches that which I have seen before. Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenton Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Lovely detailing, perhaps too many vehicles and whilst Thomas may be great fun for the kids, I would leave that out. Just my old fuddy duddy thoughts! Oh I don't know, I think Thomas sits quite well on this layout. I think it does use the card kits quite well though going too close up with the camera gives the game away. Some well attended detailing is overshadowed a bit by some unusual positioning - for example the lean-to conservatory line side - I doubt if the glass in it would last long with trains passing so close. I have not seen the layout live and as we all know photos can be cruel. I also have a bit of an issue with a layout so obviously built as a roundy-roundy, yet seeing good use of the curve is pleasing. Not a layout I would go out of my way to see, but one that would attract more than a passing glanse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Jason T Posted April 18, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 18, 2012 I'm glad it wasn't only me who spotted the strangely placed conservatory (and gap in the fence) although saying that, the crossing keeper's cottage at Arnside (now a private residence) has a conservatory that close to the line. It does look like a very nice layout, a lot of detail that fits well although if I was to be critical, there are a few areas where the finishing could have been better executed, e.g. the grassy banks along the road, etc. http://www.geog.port.ac.uk/webmap/thelakes/photos/bqb23.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
