Cul Uisge - Kyle in 4 feet - A Brief Recap

Some of you may recall this layout from previous versions of RMweb. The original plan was to build one side of Kyle of Lochalsh station in 4mm scale. The Mk1 version of the layout was 8' x 2' plus fiddle yard but this became to big for the room I was working in so Mk2 was begun, recovering as much material from the previous version as possible.

Today the layout is fairly well progressed. There is still the main building to construct, detailing to be added and weathering/painting to be completed.

 

Photos as the layout is now :

The layout is planned to run over several eras using the following stock :

 

1960s - 2-tone Green Class 24, GSYP 24/1, Maroon Mk1s, various wagons

Early 1970s - Pre-tops Blue Clayton, Pre-tops Blue 24/1, Blue/Grey Mk1s, various wagons

Mid 1970s - Tops Blue 24/1, Tops Blue 26, Blue/Grey Mk1s, various wagons

Mid 1980s - Large Logo 37s, Blue/Grey Mk1s, airbraked wagons.

Early 1990s - Original Livery 156s, RF Construction 37/4, Kyle line Green/Cream coaching stock, airbraked wagons.

Good to see this layout back as a new blog.

 

Did you consider adding another era and running the 156's?

 

Look forward to see some more pics and with the rolling stock.

As I mentioned on the old forum I love this, you are capturing the atmosphere of the real Kyle yet in such a small space, its almost better than the original plan!

 

I like the disused tracks running off the front, that s a nice touch you dont often see!
