About this blog

A layout based on LBSCR Eridge Station (East Sussex) built by members of the Kent Area Group of Scalefour Society to exhibition standards.

6. Station Gallery and Footbridge - Part 1

Link To Previous Posts   Having completed the station road bridge my attentions have turned to the Gallery and Footbridge.   Many may remember this the 3D Printed Station Footbridge frm Shapeways printed  many moons ago.       Unfortunaltely these parts are very delicate and it became apparent that transportation to venues and continual handling would not bode well for this item.   With the station road bridge permanently attached to the lay

5. Station Platforms

Mike Ainsworth has been busy with the Station platform area.   Platform Canopies   He has built the canopies from scratch using brass sections to form the main canopy structures. The canopy columns were reused from Eridge mk 1.  These structures are suitably robust enough to remove them for transportation of the layout to exhibitions         They were then clad in plastikard sheeting and individual sheet join ribs were represente

2. Mind The Gap

For a long while we (KAG) have contemplated the platform edging bricks and how to replicate them.   Mike (founder member and builder of Eridge Mk 1) remembers the tedious job of scribing plastikard to represent the brick mortar joints.   After some thought on this matter I have come up with this design       A KISS design that allows the edging to follow a gentle curve and at the same time adusts the mortar joint to suite the curve. The key to all thi

1. The story thus far .....

It's been 2 years since last we posted an update on the progress of the club layout. Progress is visible although at a moderate pace but then we only have 5 members and we try to meet every Thursday evening so time progressing the layout is limited.   You can visit our early blog Here   So the progress thus far   Trackwork   Painstaking work mainly by Mike has gone into this area to ensure smooth faultless running especially in reverse running out of the b
