Dave,

 

Stunning!!

 

(I think that's all I want to say really) :-)

I'd echo that, this is superb - and also confirms my love for goods sheds on bay platforms!

Absolutely superb atmospheric modelling of Edwardian GWR

That's really, really good.

Really beautiful job, it looks great.

Hi David,

Your layout is really starting to take shape now, and it's going to be up there with the best in my opinion.

 

Regarding the platform edgings I am also in the market for some, are the ones you need like a large blue engineering brick with a tread patten on the top face?

 

Regards,

 

Martyn.

Thanks all for the very positive comments, I'm delighted that you like it!:-)

 

Best wishes

 

Dave

Hi Martyn, yes the "diamond pattern engineers blues" with the 2 inch bull nose radius on the side facing the track are exactly what I'm looking for! Im surprised no one makes a 7mm example, there are obviously at least two customers:-)

 

Best wishes

Excellent work, really cracking.

 

Kind regards,

Nick

Absolutely gorgeous modelling Dave.

 

I love the way the curve flows and the attention to detail.

 

Cheers,

Hi David,

 

Yep that's the one's, I have a chap that said he would have a go using MDF and laser cut but I would have thought 3D would give a finer result. If you can find the exact dimensions I would think Dave Rainer would be able to produce them, he's the chap who produced the slab and bracket chairs for me, and very good they are to.

I've sent you a PM but this all sounds very promising!

Thanks Nick and Mark, much appreciated! :-)

Hi Dave, just catching up - the Gas Cordon in your last post is a real beauty and these scenes look so right. There's a sense of depth and natural flow of things which adds to the already brilliant modelling.

 

The station master is clearly very concerned about public health, and has decided to give the paltforms a good scrubbing with limewash :-)

Thanks Mikkel! It's all beginning to look like the scene I've got in my head!

Yes he's a very diligent chap, apparently he was overheard muttering "If it's good enough for cattle, then it's good enough for passengers" I'm really not sure what head office will say!:-) Best wishesDave

Wow! Fantastic.  The trackwork looks gorgeous and the scenic developments are brilliant.
