Afternoon all,
I haven`t posted for a while ( although once or twice on the hints and tips forum ) as most of what i`ve been up to is basically starting to try and add general clutter around the yard, but it needs a great deal more yet.
A while ago I bought a turntable drive from locomotech and I find it works well. Very easy to fit, with nice slow running. I use the mark one eyeball to line up tracks as I only have four tracks to bother about! The turntable is a modified Peco. Handrails all rebuilt and detail added below the deck.
Time has lately been spent on squeezing in a crossover to make operating things more interesting ( in my eyes anyway ).
I`m also in the middle of my first attempt at half relief buildings. Earlier blog postings showed I`d built an aqueduct at one end of the layout. This was an attempt at giving the layout a bit of depth but really should never have been there and now the buildings are going in it was obvious it would have to go.
One thing I`ve struggled with is trying to get the right perspective of buildings behind the half relief one. I`ve had a go at the roof on one but it doesn`t look quite right to me. More practice needed.
Hopefully I`ve managed to post some pictures.

Cheers just now,

Jim.
