Building Buildings
There is a bit of a theme to our lives at the moment... getting the buildings built.
We have accepted an invite to the Nottingham show in March next year so it's now all hands to the pumps to get a reasonable set of buildings into place on the layout. Most of us have little or no prior experience of doing this, but I think that everyone has produced good results.
The photos below were taken at our most recent meeting where we had most of the current crop of buildings in place on the layout... although unfortunately the backscenes were not fitted and I'm not such a dab hand with Photoshop as Mr Nevard of this parish... still, best to save some things for the show maybe.
There are still some unfinished buildings and several that have not yet been started but I think that (as a project manager I once worked with would always say) 'progress is good'.
The low relief warehouses are coming along behind Dick's station but the goods shed is conspicuous by its absence.
Glyn's signal box, Chris's terrace and John's shops. Chris has now accepted the commission for the Cliff Hotel which will fill in the big gap in this photo.
The Royale Hotel (mine) and its neighbours (John and Chris's). They will hopefully be at rather less jaunty angles before show time. Work on the houses to the east of the hotel is underway.
I think that Chris is winning the stakes for the most buildings made. This is his latest residence.
