cromptonnut Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 You can always tell great modelling by the atmosphere with no trains on display. You have nailed it perfectly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyddrail Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Nick, I love what you have done with this scene. Only point I would make is the troughing routes and cabinets only really make sense if a main line is in front of the sidings. I like the modern buffer stops and NSE red lamposts. Cheers.

Nick G Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 Thanks Paul, Only point I would make is the troughing routes and cabinets only really make sense if a main line is in front of the sidings. Thats exactly where the mainline is...... There are also 2 modern ground signals protecting the exit from the sidings in the the real location, I have these on order from Absolute Aspects. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick G Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 Looking really good Is there much more detail you want to do? Hi Hugh, I have some Absolute Aspects modern ground signals on order, these will be installed along with the cosmetic cables and trunking. The layout set up on trestles with drapes attached, need a name board now. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick G Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 Thanks to John (Digital) for showing me how to sort out the colour cast which is produced by the LED lights on the layout. Here is a modified photo of 31233. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
