Regarding the comment about the slope, although this would be logical it doesn't mean it has to be sloping away from the passengers. The bus shelter in Dereham Market Place has the same design flaw as I know from experience!

wow - either thats a very large 20p or a very small building - amazing work

Fair point about the slope, though it has a gutter at least- originally it was going to be pitched rather than skillioned, but the artistic licence got a-hold of me...and also I wanted to keep it a simple shelter. I suppose the run-off would be no worse than a conventional hipped roof, which is often steeper - though no doubt someone will prove me wrong!

Wet-necked passenger it is then!

Nice work Chris.

 

I can appreciate the 'smallness' having just built four small structures myself.

 

Look forward to see it painted and weathered...

Oh, I thought that the 20p was MASSIVE

Not friendly witty since if the 20p was that big, it would make my work even poorer than it is...

Itis now weathered and in situ, though I'm holding back until the station area is finished...

I don't mean to cause offence Chris. None was intended. At least you have made a building - I still have cut out paper stand ins! In fact you made a whole layout in the time I've been pontificating. That deserves merit.

And absolutely none taken Rich - just my sense of humour I'm afraid!!

Sorry!

On the layout front, I'm sure yours will be well worth the wait. I'm still really playing with techniques trying to catch up on some of the 30 years I spent in the modelling wilderness.

I've already consigned one mini layout to the skip complete with easitrac, as it served its purpose and taught me how to improve. Not particularly ecological and all that, but part of a necessary pathway as I see it, and just the way I work.

All of this I hope to one day come to frutition in a layout worthy of the name finescale - though whether this will be in 2mm remains to be seen.

One of the problems is there are just too many places I'd like to model.....

Hi Mikkel, nice to see you back on the board!

I have been indeed building up some 4mm stock to go with the Robinson, but haven't added to it yet or really developed any further ideas. Space remains an issue, and I have a friend who has a 4mm layout so I get to run it there occasionally!

2mm is just too convenient at the end of the day, and I have an amount now invested. This little layout is an opportunity to run the coulple of diesels I have, but I'm not sure how long this will last before another idea calls.

I am having a lot of difficulty following any one project through to a conclusion. At the moment, building trackwork seems to have got a hold, so after the 3 way point I set myself the challenge of a single slip...!
