Being inspired by what id seen at Warley.. I set to work building my first layout (Tunnel Lane ) using tips from all the mags ,Facebook groups etc.. The goal was to get it in a mag and do a few exhibitions.. So 4 months in to the build to be appoarched by Model Rail for a feature I was totally blown away, Then with Tunnel lane finished, I really wanted to build another but this time and due to lack of space I wanted to build a micro layout. Armed with a Scale Model scenery baseboard Little Quarry was born ,and the start of Tunnel Lane Model Railways . I was also approached by Railway Modeller for a feature with Little Quarry which got me my first commission, Oldbury (as featured in the current BRM magazine)! I've also built 3 dioramas Portmadog, Barton Road and Barmouth for Alan at Modelu , I've built numerous layouts and commissions which In due course will gracing the pages of BRM. 

 

I do have a very active Facebook page which you are all very much welcome to come and take a look at

Nature does a good job of backscenes down your way Dan! The natural lighting brings the modelling alive too. Nice work and you do take a decent pic. :)

Many thanks it's been design so that the backscene is detachable.. But yes it works great outdoors and indoors

Great stuff. I presume you have a mirror behind the bridge in the outdoor shot?
