Highclere - 2mm Finescale

Glad to here that it is working to your satisfaction Missy. I know just how disheartening it is when things don't work.

real progress never realized until your last entry it was a roundy roundy

I bet you're glad you didn't take it to the tip now, Missy? That baseboard joint looks a whole lot better.

 

Andy

Looking fantastic - your perseverance has paid off!

Thanks guys.

 

It will probably sound a bit weird but I feel kind of 'refreshed' now I am on top of all the trackwork. I can finally start looking at other parts of the layout and hopefully the momentum will return. Its just a shame in a way that the weekend is pretty much over and I wont really get much time to work on it until next weekend.

Considering this is 2mm, that joint looks pretty darn good to me! Once you've got some grass on that embankment & painted the station forecourt it'll be pretty much invisible

 

Tom.

Joint? What joint!

 

Top fettling Missy

Glad to see you've got over your recent lows and worked on that board joint, I'm sure seeing Mark putting those curved boards together has helped inspire you.

 

Look forward to further updates on Highclere, your work has been very inspirational to many of us

Glad the wagons are rolling again and the mojo is back.. but I can't wait to see the pizza layout

Tom

Looks great Julia. When are we going to see Highcleare out on the circuit - I think its going to be a show stopper.

Jerry

Looking good gal

 

I'm sure seeing Mark putting those curved boards together has helped inspire you.

 

I would just like to say the building of the end curves was all Julia's work, I just guided her threw it while working on my own jobs.

well done Julia.

 

Mark

Neat work as ever.

Don

Nicely done...

WOW!

 

I honestly wasnt expecting a response quite like that! Thank you lots for the encouragement.

 

TOME - I dont think it will be totally invisible, thats the panacea every modeller aspires to! Im happy with it and thats the important thing.

 

Trevor - The pizza style is a long way off, I need to finish Highclere first! I am looking forward to it though because I have learnt so much building Highclere that I hope it will be better.

 

Jerry - At this moment in time Highclere is going to the RMWeb meet in July, then the Abingdon Show early next year followed by Railex next May. I am trying not to take it too many places until it is finished as people will get bored of it quickly. As for it being a showstopper I dont think so!

 

M.

I'm really looking forward to seeing this in the flesh at the RMWeb show in July

The track looks great, but it's the basics that make it work so well - lovely scenery to date, an understated but well blended back scene, quality rolling stock - the standard is high, but it's consistently high across all aspects. No small achievement

 

 

Nice to see you have your mojo working again

I have only just caught up with your blogs. I thought the photo of the track under the bridge looks so real!

 

I'm glad you haven't given up on Highclere!

 

I plan to come to the RMWeb meet this year and see it and say Hi!

Thank you guys.

 

I hope it live up to your expecations! Of course it still is quite a way off being 'finished'

 

M

Glad you managed to get it sorted to your satisfaction B)

So am I !!

 

Thank you Pugsley
