I hope you're counting anything below 6 as an odd number there haha Enjoying seeing the progress on the buildings!

Now that would certainly be foolish... Nestor

I hope to make both but only time will tell... There is a very active German section of this site which may be a good place to start such a thread, I think the interest is certainly there. Of course my suggestion to avoid bald patches in fields is to make grass mats out of hanging basket liner with flocks and scatter added on top to give it depth. https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/forum/134-german-railways/ Nestor

Good to hear that there is progress on the Bavarian project, is there a thread for that as well? I remember you mentioning in passing the plan for that layout a few years back... I think you do yourself a disservice, the scenery on Woodstowe always struck me as of an extremely high standard, especially when seen in person. I hope you are keeping well. Nestor

Grand work Phil! ...and i believe a happy birthday as well! Nestor

Thanks this is helpful! Ill check out Conrad I'll also follow your topic, looks interesting. Nestor

Hi guys Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this question... Having had a look online, I'm struggling to find a UK supplier of the lovely MBZ laser cut building kits. Does anyone know of anywhere they are available in the UK? Otherwise I'm quite happy to import but thought I ought to check first. Thanks in advance! Nestor

That's really rather good! Would definitely be interested if and when they are available Nestor

Great to see progress...now you just need to be finished in time for our next club cup night nestor

It's with great sadness that I must report that this morning I was informed that Doug Hill, former treasurer of the Brighton MRC, passed away. An excellent modeller and an expert on all things LSWR, he will be greatly missed by all that knew him. Nestor

Some work on the hedges of my wee Irish diorama

Hello all! So I've, probably deliberately, been putting off wiring this thing up as that is my absolute least favourite and least confident aspect of layout building... Instead I've been planning in where the platform and goods platform will be. Hardly the correct use of my time but until I'm absolutely certain of what I'm going to be doing wiring wise (it'll be dead simple, that I do know!) it's all I'm prepared to do. I'll be heading to my nearest Hobbycraft (now that there is one in Brighton) to buy up some balsa wood and I'll also be making a small shop of rolling stock over the next month or so. That's all for now, below are some photos of the rough planning of the platforms, the cut in the track between the two boards and the Autorail positioned stylishly in the sun.... Nestor

Just a quick one... good weekend at Ally Pally has increased the total stock level for the layout by three wagons from Piko. Attached is a shot of the entire stock so far... Nestor

Hi all off topic I know BUT I'll be at Ally Pally next weekend (23rd/24th March) demonstrating scenery techniques. Do come and say hello if you're there! I do this wearing my MRC hat rather than my Brighton MRC hat and it's always very enjoyable. Hopefully ly see some of you there Nestor

Also... Just thinking ahead, how have others gone about modelling the low level platforms common across France? I'm used to the higher British ones but have not tried a lower level one before. Any help greatly appreciated! Nestor
