My New Layout (Pete Harvey)

This year in between running PH Designs, building models for people and keeping my work shop tidy, I have managed to find time to use up most of the wood left over from Dudley Road & Peters Street.

What could I do so yet again a small very portable layout, I must admit that another reason is to have a platform to display some of my products and to demonstrate how they can be used in conjunction with other manufactures products, in the end I'm a modeller and I enjoy the construction of a layout.

 

Well here are some pictures to show what I'm building.

As you can see from these pictures I have altered the Peco point work slightly, I have done this so that I can get more track on the opposite end of the base board it has given me about 50mm more track on the sidings.

All of the rail joints are soldered and I have used Exacto Scale Brass Cast fishplates soldered on place on the sides of the rails over the joints.

The hard standing is made from four 2mm sheets of plasticard some Peco Concrete Sleeper rail fixings and some Code 75 rail.

The back wall was constructed from some of the 2mm plasticard, some brick pattern plasticard and what was left from the wills bridge sections that I used on Dudley Road.

Well that is about as far as I have gotten at the moment I will post more pictures as as when I have time to make some more progress.

Surprise surprise! Pete's off with another layout! Very good indeed my friend! Love the realistic rail joiners. May I ask you how you get your plasticard for your inlaid track to be perfect for your curves? A very good layout, and with the work you do to your layouts, this will a very good layout indeed! Good luck!

How's Lindridge Road shaping-up our kid? I'm trying to picture where the name's from and it's just come to me - it's a country lane over by Roughley unless I'm very much mistaken. Would love to see an update on this compact when you get chance, progress on these is what sustains us roundy-masochists wink.gif
