A Duchess at Carlisle
The latest project. I've been off and on with this layout over the last couple of years. So I decided to buckle down and get on with it. The roof is still under construction and I'm very much at the McGuyvering stage. There's always a lot of niggles to sort. This is a quarter of a station scheme with a mirror at the rear to double the length. The whole layout is a mere 6.5 foot long.
This is an original Hornby Margate version of a Duchess which has been fettled with. The track is all Code 75 and the baseboard was made from an internal door picked up from my DIY store. Using a door is quick and almost as cheap as making up one yourself. It's also very straight and square as you can imagine and therefore helps when you make roof structures out of wire.
Although the station is not an exact copy of the North End of the station I have tried to remain faithful to the roof profile. This has been made with 1mm dia wire that has been soldered together in various jigs.
