If my wife found out that I had three (3) layouts on the go in my train room she would have me committed.

 

I really do not know how you do it.

 

Like Clive I am anticipating a multitude of changes before December - at least it should be fun to watch the changes.

Committed years ago mate, now she won't even come into the Old Potting Shed, when Dinners ready, she sends me a TEXT, hahhahha

Will the flap hit the scenery when folded over ?

Hi Phil, no the Back scene will sit in front of it, If you look at the first post, the backscene will be immediately behind the cottages and will curve from the Station end Cottage out to the back of the Layout, and with just a hole in the Backscene HOPEFULLY disguised somehow.

I'm really looking forward to Andy's next but one layout - Exeter St David's in a boxfile..............

 

Oh Ye Gods, he's off again!

 

As with all of your layouts Andy I will look forward to seeing it develop.

 

I'm now off for a lie down ;)

Morning Guys, Cheers and thanks.

Oi !! Andy, just stop it. You are making us all look like couch potatoes. I thought I was getting on with my layout but you make it look as if I am going backwards. But, well done. It looks an interesting project and one to give folks some ideas when they think they haven't enough space.

Morning again Guys and thanks for the Post's above and all the positive LIKES.

 

This morning I decided to try something, So I've added some timber to the opposite end to the Warf to;

A, Get a better Balance looks wise, and

B, Give more room for the Yard so that its not all cramped in.

 

I may yet remove that bit and add a longer bit to tie up with the end of the Warf for a more curved frontage, but I wanted to ensre it woukd work visually first.

Might need a couple of traps Andy.

Though the one on the right you might not, if the point to the quay is worked from the signalbox. In two minds about that one.....

Yes I know Peter but thanks for the reminder, I'll sort them out once I start to get to the Track Laying stage which is a while away yet.

Hi Peter

 

You would have thought by now he would have learned by now not to show a layout without its traps. :scratchhead:

Well Guy's if you've popped in for a CATCH UP, :no:  :no: :no:  Here's what I've been up to since Lunch.

 

I've re done the whole frontage and the Station end is now 18 inches wide but the extra is still no problem for the Car, and it gives a far nicer sweep to the whole Layout I feel.

Steps or Slipway or both.

Note these will not be the final Cottages etc, they will be Low relief and therefore more room between them and the Track.

Fed up with Carpentry now so tomorrow I have a weathering job to do, and will then be laying some Tracks on North Road I hope.

You need a couple of nice old wooden Railway Phones, one in the shed and the other back in the house, so you can be asked what you want for your tea first and then be summoned later.

Only 3 words to describe you Andy... PRO-LIF-IC.  To echo the last two posters, you amaze me with your ideas and energy.  I struggle to keep up.  Take it easy mate.

Best Regards,

Brian.
