Its just getting beter and better Mike.

 

It will be interesting to see what you tackle as a follow up project to this

You build so fast, and yet it's so convincing! Amazing. I really like the concept of this layout, and the way you have designed it.

 

Pleased to meet Winston. I doubt he'll look so clean for very long! :-)

Brilliant, thought I imagine a Q1 would be more austerity and fitting

Great stuff as always. What will you use for "that fool Parsons", especially if garbed in the shorts he used to favour for community hikes? Actually, how about a group waiting for a train to take them out of the city for one of said hikes?

Despite the 'unusual' choice of subject, Mike, the standard of modelling is tremendous.

 

Shall follow with interest.

 

Regards,

 

Jonte.

1985?

1985?

 

Why not? Anthony Burgess (he of Clockwork Orange fame) wrote one of that title. Not much material for a layout, though. Great stuff here. Really original.

Hi Pete

 

Thanks. The follow up - maybe that dream runaround layout I'm always thinking about!

Hi Mikkel - many thanks.

 

Those buildings are dead easy and quick to knock up. Just 3mm ply, some coffee stirrer sticks, a bit of PVA and a shake of fine sand for the concrete look. Most of the work had already been done - the station throat had been made a few years ago, but I was never quite happy with it. Although I've cannibalized bits (the point motors for Cheslyn) I never had the heart to break it up entirely. It just goes to show you that you should never throw anything away!

 

Winston got a black wash and varnish this morning!

Thanks for the comments Scots Region. I'd love a Q1, but money is tight and I've already exceeded my allowance for this year!!!

Hi David. Thanks for the kind words of encouragement.

 

Parsons, Syme and many others may appear - I've got to watch the cash though, those Preiser figures are expensive!!!

Hi Jonte - thanks for the encouragement. The modelling is a bit smoke and mirrors really - the backs of the buildings are never finished off and I tend to use photo realistic images for back scene areas etc.
