That is looking sublime Mike , and your usual excellent work too. Following with interest.

R.I.P Chris , a true gentleman and great modeller .

Love this ! , sort of thing I’d love to achieve when I get back to my O gauge. Do you have a track plan and dimensions at all

Nice one mate , I’ve got O gauge Gwr , would love modern . Will have to play with the full size ones at Barrow Hill Roundhouse for now lol.

Wow awesome stuff mate . But how many lol, you had a secret lottery win

You never fail to impress Mike. Simply stunning !

Hi chaz , I do already have O gauge , but also having a venture back into oo too

Thankyou for all the help guys , a lot of inspiring stuff there, as are so many of your layouts too. With that in mind , what I am thinking is a backwards L which would be 18’ long and about 3’ wide. Then on the other side of the shed I’m actually looking into getting a oo gauge layout again . So got best of both worlds

My friend had suggested a similar idea to the larger loco running outside then back in, the image is not to scale just rough . Going through end of shed and back in on the side of the shed . And the smaller locos running on the smaller curve

Hi folks , now my divorce has finished and starting a fresh . I’m am resurrecting my layout Hady Hill . But building from scratch . I am having an 18x10’ shed , my question is , would this be too tight for a roundy layout ? , I’m running mostly panniers and small stock but I also have a B1 and am getting the darsted coaches . Only other bigger loco would be the large prairie when it’s released . Any help or advice , very much appreciated .

This is coming on in leaps and bounds . Well done

Those platform lights you had before mate are from Duncan Models , I have some exactly the same

Just a closer shot of the front showing the interior that looks wonderful on what I can see

Just to let you know you’ve been shafted a bit with that speaker and sounds lol. I bought a load of those on eBay for less than £10 and you can download free sounds from quite a few sites too mate .

This looks Amazing! Could we have some close ups of it

Will look into the printed backscene idea , Cheers . Yes found some Tomix buildings they are better price

Hi mate on post 42 where did you get the wonderful backscene from ?. I’ve just bought a kato starter set and doing a project with my twins. Just need to find some decent priced modern city buildings that aren’t as expensive as Kato! Lol

Wow it’s been so long without an update . Well I was going to say ballasting is just about to start and all the scenics. But an impending divorce that’s also turning very nasty ☹ Has meant I have had to rip up the layout as the wife wants me and my 3kids out . So most of the layout and stock is packed away . Hopefully I will find a good property that will let me resurrect the layout once again. At the moment we gonna be homeless. Thanks for all the support to one and all . Promise when I return I will have regular updates. Tc

For the police box if it's plaster I would have sealed it first with dilute Pva to form a key then when dry a coat of undercoat from a rattle can.

Hi mike is the cobbled area slaters sheets?, apologies if it's been mentioned somewhere. Hope you're winning with your hand . Regards.

Looking great mike , hope your hands on the mend .

Many thanks Giles they arrived today . Could you now make a Giles available to buy so we can all have one at home, to do 3D printing and weathering of vehicles. . Yours hopefully Kevin

Ordered mine , looking forward to them

Have you still got the Dapol wagons mate?
