RMweb Gold jamest Posted January 23, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 23, 2020 Hi, This looks fantastic - I've admired, and been lucky to see for real, your other layouts and this is right up my street. I had an inglenook which I sold as I got a little fed up with it - this combines it well with a running line and more operational interest. Its all good but I love the bridge over the sidings and variation in arches and span - its a real inspiration to get on with something myself. The 5 to 6 foot layout is something I like the idea of....it is big enough to do something like this, but not so big that it is un-finishable or difficult to move/lump about. As mentioned above...it also transfers to 7mm well too. Thanks for sharing - I think it deserves a thread of it own! regards, James 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold tractionman Posted January 23, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 23, 2020 The way the layout scenics blend into the backscene looks great, really convincing, there is a real depth to the scene. Very nice indeed. cheers, Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted February 3, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 3, 2020 Hi Wayne - I use wood ash from a log burner over Humbrol light grey aerosol. If you want some ash I can bring a bag to Monmouth - very reasonable rates Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Wayne 37901 Posted February 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2020 Good to see you again today Chris! Here's a couple of pics of Dock Street, in action today at the Monmouth show. Cheers again for my little present! 21 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted February 23, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 23, 2020 I've had confirmation that Dock Street Mk I will be attending the GCR/SVRMC Quorn show in June. We may revise the presentation - the informal sit down and chat approach may not work for a large and swift-moving audience plus we need to decide how to deal with the characteristic bouncy floor in the marquee - not exactly Kadee friendly...Anyway we are stil looking forward to it. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted September 14, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 14, 2020 Good morning all. The only remaining possible booking for DSS has disappeared and I've already ordered track and boards etc for its even smaller replacement. This means the layout needs a new home - if you are interested do get in touch. Chris 6 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
