Hi Pete...

As ever great design work and coming along nicely.

No need to ask the audience...

Next instalment awaited.

Cheers,

Crafty stuff Pete.

Only yesterday I dismantled a Lack shelf from a wall. Reading this now has got me thinking how neat a Lack-based wall-mounted layout would be, given the invisible mounting mechanism.

Thanks Mikkel - yes that was why all my layouts during my BCN phase were built off them...so easy to slide on and off the wall. This layout used them more as instant baseboards as we don’t have ability to hang them off wall in our current apartment - hence why I filled in and overclad the recess and holes yesterday with the fascias.

Go on...you know you want to...

Ah, I didn't realise that. Or rather I had forgotten - scary how someone can inspire you and then years later you end up thinking it was your own idea :-)

We have sold the house and are moving to an apartment without a modelling room, so I'm particularly interested in solutions like this at the moment.

Yes downsizing can force you to rethink things - whilst most of my layouts are now micro layouts (as that is what interests me these days) this 7mm layout is not that big weighing in at 2200 x 260mm.

Hope the move goes well..

Hi Pete

See you are applying your usual fastidious approach toward the new scale. Beautiful craftsmanship and I’m really looking forward to seeing this develop. Great to see you modelling again. Are you going to treat us to some more of your inspirational drawings?

Scratch that last question as I’ve just seen the first installment. Great project.

Hi Mike,

Many thanks for your kind comments - its been an off and on project for a few years now but having recently struggled with my 2mmFS stuff its nice to have something completely different to focus on.

The one thing I need to crack is the uncoupling - who would have thought 7mm three links would be fiddly! I think that automated coupling and the slow running, sound chiped Dapol 08 will give it a little extra both as operator and viewer...need to think this through more.

Really enjoying the shear presence of the scale though - would love to see you work your magic with it
