    Very charming. This has the feel of Colchester Town which would be my prototype of choice if I wasn't already fully committed to a London location. There's an S gauge layout which is similar on the exhibition circuit called Abbey Street which is worth seeing although these pictures don't show it off fully. It's in the Chelmsford area. http://www.s-scale.org.uk/gallery28.htm Andrew

    Thanks, I'm going to do an update video around the whole thing to show progress so far.

    Haven't done this for a while but here's something for those like me who like a little lockdown trainspotting...

    Busy day on the market near the Aldersgate terminus

    Still fiddling.....and a gate has appeared. If you look at the workbench at the back there's a vice. "What's under the tarpaulin? The last bloke that asked what's under the tarpaulin." (To be said in best Ray Winston voice).

    Finally getting round to sorting out the cafe's yard which has been sub-let to a jobbing builder. More junk to come!

    Thanks, that's kind. I think very much the same regarding many of the layouts on this site. Every week I find something inspiring which I had not seen before. I am in touch with a guy in Scotland who is doing Liverpool Street for real, not just a small taster like my Aldersgate is! If we could harness all the energy shown on RMWeb we could probably abandon fossil fuels in about 6 months! Andrew

    BTW the loaves in the baker's shop are mustard, black pepper, cumin and fennel seeds!

    Couldn't resist offering up the row before I added gutters and chimney pots. The building on the end is from the Mile End Rd in East London and Assembly Passage ran through the block as shown. I used to walk up the passage where there was a pickle factory when I was junior school age. The property is a restaurant but I have made it an homage to the 24 hour Beigel Bake which has been in Brick Lane since the Ark.

    but it's like writing on a blackboard, you get so up close and intense that when you stand back it's possible to have written "psot office!

    Couldn't resist offering up my work in progress! Not unhappy with the proportions.

    Hope you mean the "graden" in the prototype , or did I miss something, always possible.

    I decided to model the two adjoining shops but thought it was a bit much to start a new thread. Here's how far I have progressed.... The windows of Barrett's stores are taken from a photo of the original, chopped about a bit.

    Another wash of dirty white spirit gutters and some downpipes and we're ready for planting on the baseboard, guess that's the end of this thread. Thanks for your interest.

    Summoned up courage (or stupidity) and gave the buildings a wash of white spirit and black paint.

    More signs of lockdown fever: here's a tip for ridge tiles which might be hard to copy unless, like me you have bought a GER ticket clipper on eBay (I have two). The clipper removes a perfect crisp "E" every time which is amazing given its age. Split the ridge tile into 3/4" sections to fit in the jaws and you get this. Pure retro modelling! And I wonder why (non modelling) friends pause, look at me and say; "You're mad!"

    slow but satisfying progress...I never knew why the entrances were at odd levels but to my mind it gives the building more interest.

    Site assembly and envisioning (is that even a word?).
