Dave Holt's Blog

WOW!

Looking good Dave, some excellent progress being made since visiting earlier in the year!! :-D

Coming on treat Dave.

 

Keep at it

Blimey, I've only just got back, and you've posted already!

 

I can confirm that Delph (Holt) looks pretty impressive, and the underside too.

I absolutely love the way the contours of your baseboards follow an outline bordered by geographical features rather than the usual perpendiculars. It really is quite refreshing.

 

It makes for something clearly more visually engaging than the average layout and there's a certain 'tantalising tease' about how it's going to look further down-the-line.

Ah ha! I didn't have a two hour drive home after your departure! Thanks for your kind comments and ideas during the visit.

Thanks for the kind comments. I only hope I can live up to expectations!

This is only half the layout, the rest.....

Trouble with blogs is they keep missing the radar, which is why I missed these updates. The layout has come on fantastically well and I must say you don't do things by half. That control panel for instance. It was a good idea to incorporate Delph New Road into front of the layout as it puts the railway into its environs (I could only incorporate Shaw Hall Bank Road retaining wall due to lack of squeezing space in the shed). The baseboard top is grey...Did you spray this before laying track?
