1st P4 Layout Update

Well well well, it's been a while hasn't it?

 

My small 1FT x 6FT P4 layout (Ok exalted test plank) has been gathering much dust. A layout of this size people typically complete in 2 months but I've been at it 4 or whatever years due to other commitments and bone idleness.

 

So here is an update. The area that was going to be a railway bridge, I said I buggered prospects of that up in an earlier entry due to the Dingham electro-magnets being in the way (Lack of planning!). As a result I turned it into a pedestrian subway.

 

Now it makes sod all sense unless the subway was cut before the railway but I don't care. This layout is a flexible testing ground for new ideas and experimentation, light hearted modelling at a whim. So...

As a 1st attempt at rocks I'm pleased with how easy and effective it was.

Aye. I have to be in the mood for modelling to do a half decient job, other wise it feels too much like work. Fine if you are modelling cows - they're always in the MOOd.

That made me laugh, I don't know why as it was terrible but still :)

Yeah, I'm a horrid joker. :D

 

Sometimes the crappy ones are still funny simply because they are so lame.

I filled in the base of the stone work, just need to sand it and paint it so it should all blend better now.

Sort of, I'm planning a Pre 1955 Knapford Junction RWS layout with interchangeable modular scenic sections for other locations, thinking long term and for filming.  This baby layout is my initial test plank/layout but I have decided it is the grubby end of Crovans' Gate Loco Works where they make, mend or break wagons up and recycle them or something.

 

Might call it 'Crovans' Corner' or something when it's more complete.
