Ponderings and stuff

After having a rather busy last few weeks with DEMU Showcase and a DEMU airbrush/weathering meetup in Tamworth haven't had much chance to sit and do anything at the newly cleared workbench alas.

 

However, conversations with Natalie have progressed on various aspects of both the Salisbury/Chilmark layout plans and possible subjects for the RMWeb 2011 Diorama Challenge.

 

My thinking now is to work on the Diorama and put the Salisbury/Chilmark idea on ice to some extent and continue researching it as it will be a longer term project I think, especially the exchange sidings/main line bit!

 

the Diorama will be a small, easy and simple way to get back into the hobby and both myself and Natalie have a few ideas we're passing about between ourselves at present, some rather exciting.

 

As well as this, have been looking at Warship (Cl 42) details with the aim to update/detail an old Mainline model, and repaint it Maroon as D827 ' Kelly', as the Salisbury/Chilmark idea can feature warships as a later period, allowed by the

ideas floating around about multi-eraness of the layout by having items such as buildings and signals removable (also to aid storage).

 

Am currently working way through photos taken at DEMU Showcase, so they should be on flickr

The Salisbury/Chilmark idea is not on ice as such- it is just not reached the stage where plans can be finalised and wood cut. I just need to sort the narrow gauge/standard gauge tranship area out first.

Was kind of what I was meaning in my muddled way of writing lol. I want to get the Salisbury/Chilmark idea right, and so research and time is key, especially as neither of us is working presently so a longer time frame for budgeting it is best anyway, although the Narrow Gauge and NG/Standard Gauge tranship area won't need a lot of stock, only the exchange sidings/main line would.

Smashing Blog Kelly, hope all turns out well, keep pluggin' and it'll happen!

No 1 fan,Allan.

 

Thanks Allan,

 

My trouble is i have too many creative ideas andnot always the ability (physically due to health) to realise them, so a lot of ideas get thought about and then forgotten about. But something will happen soon :) probably 3rd rail electric, followed by narrow gauge military, then maybe followed by 4th rail :)
