Tim V Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 I wasn't satisfied with the retaining walls, so redid them. Posed here with some of the waggons. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted December 8, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 8, 2019 Nice to see some corrugated cardboard in use. I have just created a pair of tiered display bases for the 'Messy Church' Bethlehem scene. The youngsters will be making the buildings out of cardboard tubes from the usual domestic sources. Two big flat screen TV boxes provided the material. It's quite solid. especially when laminated. Given the price of commercial modelling materials, using cardboard, wood offcuts and a big tub of PVA is a good option! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve howe Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I use corrugated card a lot for scenics, scrounged from the local supermarket, and old cornflake packet for the woven support mesh. Assembled with a hot glue gun its fast, easy and cheap! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim V Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 Bit of paint on the aqueduct, plus I've altered the loop points - made them a bit longer, should encourage faster speeds from the horses! Still a long way to go. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium AdeMoore Posted January 26, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 26, 2020 Looking excellent Tim, my home town Wells I should have gone. Will do this year to see where you’ve got to with it. is the cardboard temporary? I know you pushed it for RailWells. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim V Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 Yes, the card is temporary. You miss a very good show at Wells. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispearce Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) Just joined the forum. Having grown up in Bristol and explored the old S&D this is a brilliant layout idea. Coming along wonderfully! Edited February 7, 2020 by chrispearce 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim V Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 I have been struggling for ages with the terrain at the tunnel end of the layout, when I was looking at a picture of the village and realised (a eureka moment) that the canal passes into a cutting. It all became easy. I had been distracted by the removal of land during the barn conversions.. So a bit of CAD (cardboard aided design) and here is the result. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D869 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Hi Tim, Still keeping my eye out for promising material related to working 4mm scale horses. I don't think we're quite there yet. Regards, Andy 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim V Posted September 5, 2021 Author Share Posted September 5, 2021 It was to have appeared at Railwells 21, but that got cancelled. I expect it will appear at Railwells 22. As for progress? None, but thanks for asking and your comment! It might inspire me to get my Mojo working again. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim V Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 It's all @col.stephens fault, I have swapped the boards over, and have now restarted work on the layout! The cottages are being tried out, with some trees and bushes they 'might' be acceptable. someone pointed out using a hot-glue gun for scenery work - Ill fetch that from the workshop ... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Mikkel Posted September 9, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 9, 2021 Glad to see you've picked this up again, it's too interesting to be left by the wayside. I see you keep it simple when it comes to stock boxes 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve howe Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Yes me too, and the working horse of course It must be the season, because I've been working on Sandsifters again this week after nearly 8 months of inactivity. Although I suspect the Cameo Challenge has sunk without trace as we don't seem to hear anything from its originators anymore. Steve 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim V Posted September 2, 2022 Author Share Posted September 2, 2022 Nearly a year since my last posting! I've been invited to Railwells 2023, that means I've got to get something done. Been working on the steam engine. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim V Posted September 13, 2022 Author Share Posted September 13, 2022 I was always bumping my head on the light beam, so I've raised the board. Also I've used some LED strips that I removed from a (then) scrap TV to light the layout. The scrap TV had some new LED strips put in it - no longer scrap!
