Charlie586 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Slaters plastikard and I think South East Finecast also do corrugated sheet, the wills ones tend to be thicker than the others. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobM Posted November 3, 2019 Author Share Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) Hi Guys.... I am so sorry for the lack of postings and progress on Cambrian Street lately this has been due to combination of close family (and has to be said personal health) concerns once more...hope to be 'back on track' in the not too distant future.....just feeling exhausted and 'bu**ered' lately! Regards always... Bob Edited November 3, 2019 by BobM 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold lezz01 Posted November 3, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 3, 2019 Chin up Bob. We're here when you're ready mate. Might I suggest a good quality tonic from your local pharmacy Bob. My boss gave me a bottle when I was recovering from pancreatitis. It definitely helped. Speak to the pharmacist and he will recommend the appropriate jollop for what ails you.

BobM Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 (edited) Hello Guys....Hope all are well...? Had a day off from the usual volunteering at the station today, and decided to head off down to the local model shop in Kidderminster so it was a bus and mainline train hop this morning.....and obtained a few wagons for the yard, further ballast and a couple of second hand items to adapt. I have had a thought 'niggling' away in my head (and let's face it , there's plenty of vacuous space in there for it to rattle around in) that the goods yard was a bit 'overwhelmed' by the intended goods shed, so I had been looking for an alternative and have found that the Bachmann Corrugated Shed seems to do the business, requires a bit of weathering but I am happy with this as a substitute shed..... Intention to place an unloading crane in the gap between the shed and office.... also I came across this original Bachmann GWR footbridge, which again is in need of a bit of TLC but looks fine for the time period I am modelling instead of the concrete version, the intention to have this in the same position as before.....there is the possibility too of a further footbridge of similar design to link the central and far platforms together.....? The idea for a secondary footbridge......? Comments appreciated, regards always..... Bob Edited November 7, 2019 by BobM 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold lezz01 Posted November 7, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 7, 2019 The footbridge looks great Bob. I'm not sure about the goods shed though mate I think the other one looks better. You have quite a large station so I think the bigger one looks more in keeping with it. But hey it's your layout so rule one applies.

BobM Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 Cheers Lez, Thanks as always for the input.....will keep things on the 'backburner'...can see your point...here's the comparison....? Regards always Bob 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted November 7, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 7, 2019 I prefer the smaller goods shed too 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BlueLightning Posted November 7, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 7, 2019 Hi Bob, I'm going to have to agree with Lez here, I think the bigger shed fits with the size of the station better. Everything is looking great though!! Gary 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold lezz01 Posted November 7, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 7, 2019 I have to say that I don't think it looks anything other than great either way Bob. I just feel that the larger shed works better with the station you have. If anything you could have gone with a larger goods warehouse, well one of the smaller ones at least. The smaller one is very atmospheric and looks great. The larger one is more imposing but looks a bit clinical maybe if you weather the larger one some more it would become more atmospheric as well.

BobM Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 (edited) Evening Guys..... Do so much appreciate your comments on everything that I am considering and place before you........ .....here is a further adaptation, using the original idea of the large goods shed, (this one a 'chuck out' and I do have a as yet unmade kit, which I'll do up in western / GWR style).. using the 'internal' unloading platform of the smaller Bachmann externally....? the larger shed does perhaps suit the station environment I've created, the smaller corrugated one for a country station?

RMweb Gold lezz01 Posted November 7, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 7, 2019 If anything Bob I would build a two bay goods shed instead of the single bay one you have there. It would look the mutts nutz mate and would not be out of place at all. Regards Lez. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted November 7, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 7, 2019 I would like to add that just because I like the smaller one doesn’t mean I’m right I have the same larger kit but it may be too big for my layout so maybe I’m bias 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobM Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) Hi Guys..... As family 'things' matters remain rather unsettling at the moment, work on Cambrian Street is sluggish, but hope to post one or two minor images within the next couple of days of ideas for the station environs more than anything else, as half an hour or so a week is welcome..... Hope to be attending Warley show on Saturday, nothing big expected to be on the shopping list, bits and bobs mostly, hoping for plenty of inspiration too as a result of a wander around the layouts.... If any of you good guys are attending, then enjoy, if your taking a layout or on a stall hope it's a successful weekend for you.

BobM Posted November 22, 2019 Author Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) Evening my dear friends.... Here are a few images of the planned set up of Cambrian Street station..will add ideas in the next few days hopefully..... Hoping to also gain some inspiration, of which I am sure there will be huge amounts of, tomorrow at Warley Show at the NEC...(first went to their show, with my late uncle who was so inspirational in all things railway, I think in 1971 or '72 when it was at the Harry Mitchell Centre...boy I feel old, been going ever since)!

RMweb Gold lezz01 Posted November 23, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 23, 2019 I'm not convinced about the two footbridges Bob. It's a little overkill to me. Would it not be better to have one footbridge across all of the platforms? But hey rule 1 always applies doesn't it?! Regards Lez. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do take your point over the footbridges, perhaps I have overdone on this, maybe I am being too kind in that I am forgetting also the old rule ...' to make the b****ers walk'.....! One one the reasons I've posted the images is the kind feedback always received...could if I am brave enough adapt the two..but may just keep one between the two main platforms.....?

RMweb Gold lezz01 Posted November 23, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 23, 2019 I would just have one bridge running across all of the platforms Bob. Regards Lez. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobM Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share Posted November 23, 2019 (edited) Hello... Intending to place spear top fencing along the edges marked in red... A three platform access footbridge such as this perhaps....or if brave adapt the two I already have,,,? There gain it may just remain as one bridge in its current location...?

RMweb Gold lezz01 Posted November 23, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 23, 2019 So what I would do Bob, is move the station building towards the buffers a bit more, say 6" and then you can have a 3 platform footbridge starting where the toilet block is currently and adjust the other platform buildings and canopies accordingly. Saving the GWR the cost of one footbridge support tower and a set of steps....... Regards Lez. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi I do have two of the Gaguemaster kits that are based on Hagley that could be built and married together, even swing the steps in opposite directions if necessary...unsure whether the resign Bachmann ones would take to being cut up....?

BobM Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share Posted November 23, 2019 (edited) Hi Have moved the station 'furniture' and station building and placed the main bridge where it would sit on the two main platforms as here.... the 'shopped image' shows where the adapted bridge extension would be....? Does resin 'take kindly to being cut'....? Regards always... Bob Edited November 23, 2019 by BobM 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold lezz01 Posted November 23, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 23, 2019 Dunno mate I've never tried to cut it. Isn't that pub and row of houses you did resin? Regards Lez. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
