sb67 Posted November 14, 2018 Author Share Posted November 14, 2018 Dave - Not sure if it will make an appearance at Shenfield. The Airfix crane is a good idea, something I didn't think of. I've been hut building, I wanted a small whitewashed building, took me ages to build the roof but after good advice, and a few disasters manged to buid it. Need to fit the windows and tidy it up a bit, add guttering and weather it. Think I over did the seagull poo though! Steve. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly it’s virtually impossible to overdo seagull poo, years ago when I was living in Portsmouth a seagull dropped a huge one on my head when I was just outside my mum and dad’s house. Not the sort of experience you forget and is fresh in my mind 40 years later , and that is the only part of the recollection that was fresh .......

sb67 Posted November 18, 2018 Author Share Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) Finished my hut and worked out I can get an 08 and 3 air braked wagons in the fiddle yard so had bit of a play with some different stock. It's surprising how taking a photo shows up any flaws in models, I realise I've a bit still to do on the hut. Steve.

sb67 Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 Finished the area around the hut and had a play with some stock yesterday evening. I think I need to weather the ground a bit more but I dont want to over do it. I've also got to find a buffer stop and fill the space behind the end of the siding.

WD0-6-0 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I've given that a like but I really now think that there should be a wow button! (Mr Y if you're reading this) That looks amazing, the hut is weathered to perfection and the wasteland looks so natural, it's not overdone or too tidy!

Thank you, Got to leave that bit alone now and move on to something else as I keep finding bit's of junk I could put at the back of the hut!

sb67 Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 I'm still not sure of where to start with the main buildings on the layout so I've been mesing around with some other stuff. I made a few bits that might find their way on to the layout, just need a bit of painting and weathering. Steve. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sb67 Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 Sometimes less is more. What does the scene need? Martyn I like the less is more thIn theory but sometimes find it hard to put into practice! In the space you see there I was thinking along the lines of a small office or two or a slightly bigger storage building. At the other end of the layout I was going to have a half warehouse and gantries spanning the tracks. Steve. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Views will be lost once bits are added in so before adding buildings just make sure it's what you want. Try adding then take it away. See what works. Rob.

sb67 Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 Really nice job with this Steve, well done for persevering with inset track, it has come out nicely. Thanks Rob, I'm pleased with it but I've since seen methods of doing it that I would have liked to try that might have made it look better. I think if I was doing it again I'd build up my own track and put in check rails but I wanted to use up some code 100 track I had. Steve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sb67 Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 Thanks Steggy1990, progress has stalled a bit as I'm not sure where to go with the buildings at the left hand end of the layout. The posts were square wooden beading and one end filed then painted a suitable colour. Steve. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sb67 Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 Nothings changed much since the earlier posts, I've got this mock up but not sure how to urn it into a building. I'm trying to look at some prototype photo's and get some ideas. Steve. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sb67 Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 It was meant to be a warehouse with a walkway or pipes over the track and the smaller building a water tower or something. If you don't know it there's a layout call Canada Road, inspirational layout of a dock side and exchange sidings, I was kind of looking at that.
