"like" simply  isn't enough - this is great - any more info and pics?? Scale, layout size - those backgrounds are amazing

sorry me again - just found your other entries - not ventured into "people" yet where did these come from?

Hi Halsey, Cill is OO, 4mm/ft and sits on a window cill.  It's about 6ft by 1ft, with a 3ft fiddle shelf to the right hand side of the window.  Don't be fooled by the backgrounds, they aren't real, or rather they are!  The backboards to the layout are plain hardboard at present with the window reveals to each side.  I digitally replace this with local landscape images I've taken, some from the window above the layout.  

 

The engineering staff, passengers and some footplate staff are Dapol with a few whitemetal figures from various suppliers.  Most footplate crew and guards are from Modelu, I intend to obtain more Modelu staff as time and finance permit. 

Lovely pictures as always, full of atmosphere

Hi

 

Thanks - I'll do some "people" investigation - I thought the back scenes looked pretty real!

 

I'll keep watching and may ask more.................
