Greetings one and all,
After nearly a years absence, I have returned to this blog. The layout has been many things in the past year.
1. A urban midland railway terminus.
2. A large piece of clutter on the breakfast room table.
It was supposed to be that layout on which my MR Kirtley Goods would run upon, but for various reasons that won’t be happening.
So the plan is to go back to the Liverpool & Manchester.
What all needs doing?
The track ripping up for a start. Then some plaster can be filled in up to sleeper height. A proper powered sector plate also needs making.
And rolling stock needs acquiring.
The John Bull, or as she is now, Atlas needs a proper Stephenson tender, and the motor needs to go elsewhere. Or is it possible to get the motor from another era 1 Bachman engine and stuff it inside a 3d printed shell?
Atlas without tender.
The left side of the layout.
The right side.
But I hear the masses cry, what all, if anything, has been done in the past 11 months?!
Well, virtually everything got some much needed weathering, including the station.
A wagon turntable for the pleasure of Cyril the shunting horse is also being constructed in the Florence Ave Locomotive Works.
The big overall plan for the future is to super detail the layout to a reasonable standard. Eventually some Prussian coaches probably will be acquired, along with possibly a Patentee, but for now I’m happy with Atlas.
