  1. So today was a busy day, spend almost all day laying 6 pieces of track but i do like the result. Looks pretty decent I think. I also uploaded a new video
  2. So after some radio silence we got some exiting news. After seeing pictures of the monsal viaduct i really wanted to add it on the layout. But where to put it, everything was already planned and no room for another viaduct. But what about the room in front of the door? Yeah wy not. So we changed the trackplan a bit and now we got room for a viaduct. Here is the raw shape of my liftup section. 2 bridges will be here soon with a road and river below. The tracks are temporary now but I really like the look of it. Especially with the blue pullman on it or a hst125
  3. This layout remains a inspiration for my version of Miller's Dale and its surroundings. After seeing your Bridge i also decided i would need it. So pretty busy on building it on a removable section. I am really interested in seeing how your station is developing and the making of the platform. Especially with the curves
  4. So we moved on a bit with the layout. The first parts of the landscape are taking shape. This is a real big boost to move on with the layout. I still had 2 boxes full of Noch terra-form so this was to be used on the layout. So i am pretty happy with the current result. I will extend it over the helix but i need to tweak the helix a little so i have to do that first. Ibce5 that is done i will add a layer of crepe paper from noch also before sticking the rocks on it and finish it with Noch Sculpta mold. Bit like of plaster but you can easily create Rocky surface fron it or make it smooth. When all is done you have a lightweight hill side. We also made a small start on the other side of the layout for a removable piece of landscape above the fiddle yard. The wooden frame will he screwed to the baseboard and a polystyreen plate will come on top of it wich can be removed. Something i have planned for the next few days You can also watch my second video on my layout
  5. Really nice work on that engineshed. Really looks good. Keep up the good work
  6. Yet another video, making progress on the backscenes
  7. So today i posted a first proper video of my layout ob YouTube
  8. So another update. After laying tracks and pulling way to many wires it's finally time for some scenery. I made a small test piece with vallast but i am not really happy about it. Its way to red/brown for the peak district so i need to shop for new stuff. But this didn't stop me to start working on the scenery. It's not much yet but i have glued down the first tunnel entrances, retaining walls On the otjer side of the room i started making a triple entrance on different levels. Its not really prototypical but it wil look pretty nice when it's done. Sadly i run out of portals so i can't finish it at the moment. So will have to start with building op the landscape with Noch terraform. Also a start is required for the lift out section above my fiddleyard.
  9. Now it's just a challenge to get it in the Netherlands. They won't ship outside the UK
  10. Even for the 60s 70s? https://www.geoscenics.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=129 Like this one?
  11. Hello again I am building a layout based on Miller's Dale and the midland mainline. Now i was wondering what would be the right ballast around the 60/70s. I now have some from dcc supplies https://www.dccconcepts.com/product/2mmn-scale-ballast-brown-blend/ LB-2BB But from geo scenics you have a ballast type that is made from limestone. Now you do have allot of limestone around the midlands so i was kinda wondering if that was more accurate? Or is my current ballast fine and bow it's time to start working on it?
  12. Not much done today. Received a small package containing some short couplings with magnets. With a option to make them electronically for lighting. Still need to test them on the layout but the look good already. Maby i can even try the shorter versions also but let's try this ones first,
  13. This looks like a amazing layout. Any change there is a trackplan?
