A little taster of the effect we're after

John (Re6/6) and I had a very constructive day today planning some layout configurations out and deciding on a few design criteria. More of that anon, aside that I checked with David (Bigcheeseplant) Lane how big the hall is at Railex wink.gif , but here are some pics of EMUs on the short-term version of the Ouse Viaduct which will form one of the centrepieces of the layout.

 

4CEP comfortably dwarfed (the short-term version was built by the late Nigel Hunt for his home layout and is about 8ft long with 14 arches - the longer-term bespoke version will be to scale, with 37 arches).

OK, it's a 5CEP with a Hornby Pullman, but you can imagine it as a 6PUL can't you?

All good romantic stuff! A pullman mid-set does indeed remind me of the 6-PUL, of course. Just a thought, though - if you're not going to use red blinds, it needs a tail-lamp!

This is really inspiring stuff. It's projects like this which really could get me interested in P4.

Whilst I can appreciate all the detail and effort that goes into some of the wonderful P4 end-2-end layouts, it has always been the larger layouts that really catch my attention.

Superb stuff icon_thumbsup2.gif
