RMweb Gold Chris Chewter Posted December 1, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 1, 2017 Those are some nice looking trees! How have you gone about making those or are they commissioned? They look far too big to be off the shelf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted December 1, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) 4D Modelshop in London http://modelshop.co.uk/Shop?searchText=Tree Search 'tree' and then you use the drop downs to select size and it shows the prices. These were 60-120mm so £8-£11 I pop in when I'm in London and bought these a while back. Not cheap but I prefer them to the ones I've seen at shows since the previous war gaming ones I used ceased trading.

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted December 3, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 3, 2017 (edited) Full setup of finished boards with the demo one in the background. Still lots to do on weathering and scenics but it gives an idea of the look. Lynmouth Gratton Lane Edited December 3, 2017 by PaulRhB 17 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melangoose Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I like the pictures, especially the first on with the complete layout. It looks great another lovely layout to add to your portfolio, is it x6 your upto now (Lulworth, Hartz, Trams, US narrow gauge, Biscuit factory and this L and B). Trust that you had a great day and were fed lots of cake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Corbs Posted December 7, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 7, 2017 Looks great. I'm very tempted to start a modular 009 layout along the same lines as space is at a premium at home. I had the idea of having generic scenery boards that could be used as a backdrop for nearly any module. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post PaulRhB Posted December 8, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted December 8, 2017 Just to prove the modular idea works here it is set up at home now in the reverse to Colehill's arrangement. It is also now running in DC mode although the dcc is controlling the points on Lynmouth on the separate bus. I also decided the lamps were too tall so I've drilled out the holes and dropped them down to just taller than the real ones were at Lynton. Going for the scale height with the bigger heads on the DCC Concepts lamps just didn't look right. 22 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted June 25, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 25, 2018 I finally got round to adding some scenery to the 2ft long board I'd been using to demo the modular idea. Too much cider 7 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fezza Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I like this a lot. My own evolving version of the Minehead and Lynmouth Light Railway is using ex-WD Baldwins (at least until Heljan get their act together) - probably not too unrealistic a scenario as if it had been built it might not have been opened until after WW1 when there were plenty of these on the market. On the 'departing from reality' issue, I would love to build the (unbuilt) terminus at Lynmouth located near the Torrs Hotel, but to do the scenery justice would need a colossal amount of space, A more realistic prospect may be the real location of County Gate (a windswept piece of moorland, crossing a country road, rather different from the famous one modeled), Culbone Stables (a picturesque and enclosed woodland location) or Porlock (a very olde worlde village) or the Minehead habourside and pier terminus. So many possibilities... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted December 6, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 6, 2018 I’ve started work on Town Quay which will provide us with the sheds and alternative junction at the Wimborne show. The back of the sheds will be open so cassettes can be used to swap rakes of coaches over fast. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold scottystitch Posted December 6, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 6, 2018 What a thoroughly engaging thread, and a lovely layout. I may have the 009 bug. The Modular concept works really well here, and it's given me an idea perhaps for my father and I to build separate termini and be able to connect them when we get together at either of our houses. Thanks for sharing. The photos in particular are nice and bright and clear. Best Scott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted February 2, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 2, 2019 Lynmouth needs an engine shed so I decided to give it a go in foam. I used card templates and a hotwire to cut the basic shape. then drew the stones in using a pencil. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
