Hi all,
Been awhile since I've done any form of update so here it is haha,
Once again I've had a rethink about the layout, and now instead of it being based on feltham it's gonna be an area of my own creation, was a pain in the bum trying to find anything useful for feltham, so instead it's gonna be a lower level station (no idea what it would be deemed as) with the station building above the platforms, a side bay for a push pull branch service, and a non active line acting as a pway siding o
Hi all,
after trying to work the 009 layout, and ending up reducing and reducing the amounts of things going on with it I got sick of it! plus why would i want to spend near on £200 for each loco (im useless at scratch building them) so i figured, after stumbling upon a video for Hettle, that I quite liked the aspect of having a normal mainline station with decent sized rakes going through!
So I decided that im going to base the layout on my local station (Feltham) during the 1960's, whi
Morning all,
After a lil bit of tweeking, I've finished the "plan"...it's now printed at a 1:1 scale and already I've found issues but they're just spacing issues which can be resolved at the physical building stage (main platform needs to go back a bit to increase the width of platform 2 and the engine shed siding)
Hopefully there's an image attached....a rough mix of anyrail and paint...all fun.
The boards woodwork is now complete and has its layer of undercoat on, just gotta wait
Morning all!, after much consideration I have now come to hate the prospect of n gauge, just didn't feel it was to my enjoyment of creativity if you get what I mean :S love n gauge though and sure ill dabble in it again at some point!
So with that said, feltenham is now becoming a fictional station upon the lynton & Barnstaple railway! And yes I've already got the Heljan manning wardles on pre-order!.....6 of them! (Want to have 2 to give a personal name change! Don't want it being too p
Morning all!
whilst I should have been working I came up with another track plan I might use, after some tweeking and advise from all of you peeps!
so here it is, labeled a few basic things to get the jist, let me know what you think or what you would add/change etc
Cheers,

Morning all,
just a quick update on where things are with Feltenham!
most of the cladding on the board is now done, and the first part of the moulded edging is in place - albeit I need to take it off to put bigger nails in!
new image attached
next work -
finishing cladding around the left side,
adding edging to inside and outside of cladding,
filling gaps and inconsistancys in the wood with filler,
adding internal angles - to avoid 90 degree angle in the backscene,
building th
Back again!!
as mentioned in the first blog, i'll upload some images of the board in progress! so here they are...
the reason for the cladding is purely decorative, it'll go around the front 3 sides, (the front isnt added yet - i work nights so by the time im awake im sure my neighbours wouldnt appreciate powersaws working!) then comes the wooded edging, and a roof! (tiled with foamboard tiles with gwr awning on the front with the station name fixed to it - if anyone knows where i can ge
Hi all, thanks for being nosey and coming to check this out!
lets get some basics!,
firstly, this is my 3rd attempt at creating a model railway, originally i hada specific room that the layout was permanantly fitted to, but that wasnt working out too well with the lady of the house so i agreed to do something smaller but of the same style etc....also didnt work, got broken :/
So here we are at the 3rd attempt, and reduced scale too! im now working in n gauge, back to my childhood roots!
