RMweb Gold Popular Post Revolution Mike B Posted April 2, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2020 I hope everyone is keeping safe, and sane. With my day time job coming to a halt, I’m twiddling my thumbs a bit, but luckily, I brought the station board home so that I could work on the station buildings as mentioned previously. It’s been slow progress but for once, it’s nice not having to rush, although that still hasn’t stopped me from making mistakes though!! First up is one of two flower beds... ....the boulders are all hand made. I’ve also added some poster boards to the station building... Mini me found his way to the station too.... ....along with the Severn Models GWR benches. Today, boredom really set in and I turned the board in to a giant diorama (headlights courtesy of Paul’s photoshop skills).. There’s still a lot of detail to add yet, but there’s now plenty of time to plod on through. Stay safe.... 28 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbull1845 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Looks really good Mike, the boulders have come out well.. I might have to get a mini Mike. In fact if we got the whole gang scanned we would be as collectable as the NatWest piggies! Edited April 3, 2020 by pitbull1845 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Horse Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Nice to hear you are keeping well Mike. I dream of getting poster boards on mine, haven't done a thing since last August......although we have moved!!!!!! Boulders look good, I though you were going to say you sieved for them in the garden!!! And as others have said Mini-Mike would make a useful addition on many layouts.......you going to be scanned again using a traditional SLR 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post Revolution Mike B Posted April 13, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) I’ve taken a break from working on the station and done some work on a pair of JIAs. One has had a tail lamp fitted (what a pain in the backside that was) and both have been weathered as per current day running. Here’s one sat on the station board.... ...only 8 more to go!

RMweb Gold Popular Post Revolution Mike B Posted April 17, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) I’ve done a few more JIAs but I thought I’d just post a few pictures for people to look at... ...firstly, the China clay train heading towards Westbury.... ...mini me taking a video of the China clay train rumbling though...,with my own tag on one of the wagons... ....an aerial view of the same train..... I’ve got some more bits to do to the station tomorrow so I’ll post some more pictures once I’ve finished. In the meantime, have a look at what Rhys and Ian have been up to with their layouts, Porthleven and Exford in Shed threads Edited April 17, 2020 by scoobyra 20 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post Revolution Mike B Posted July 4, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2020 Things have certainly been a little odd of late with the Coronavirus Pandemic putting restrictions on the whole country, so I downed tools on Oak Road and moved outside to create Oak Garden....an OO Gauge 85’ double track loop with an 8’ long, foot high viaduct, a triangular junction and a main station based on Totnes. It’s taken a whole month to build the framework and get some track down, and I still don’t have a complete loop! This will give you an idea of what I’m up to..... If the weather holds up I may actually get a whole loop by next weekend 24 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post Revolution Mike B Posted September 16, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) Sorry for the complete lack of updates on both Oak Road and the outdoor layout known as Oak Garden, but unfortunately, everything has had to take a backseat due to my Father's health. The garden layout will cease to exist, probably from the end of this month, or possibly October if the weather stays nice, and Oak Road will stay firmly tucked up in the office downstairs at work for the foreseeable future. Richard from Hornby Magazine is coming down in two weeks time to do a feature on how Oak Road came about, why I count rivets and my association with Meningitis Now, but that'll be it. I've got a few videos to post up on YouTube of the garden railway at some point and I'll pop a link on here for anyone who'd like to see how far it got.
