There is a very fine OO / EM Layout based on that, ''Diesels in the Dutchy'', built by Chris @2ManySpamsa nice idea. 

 

Slight correction Andy, I started the DitD thread on RMweb but the layout was built and is owned by Damian @Indomitable026. I contributed some of the scenic work and buildings. The layout is EM (although one line was laid to P4) not OO. 

 

I'm sure Damian will answer any further questions on the layout or roundhouse.

I'm surprised you've not finished Bench Yard by now!

 

You must be slipping.

So a very successful morning in the POD.

Both Base Boards now complete, including the River Axe Crossing.

So then time to see how a Loco might look on it.

Thanks Don, yeah now I need to Model the actual Trees to match, or obliterate the ones in the River.

Looking good Andy,

Golant harbour?!

 

Presume that portacabin is already on borrowed time before a 6th siding gets squeezed in!

I think 5 Tracks will be all I can get in, the pinch point is the 12 inch board join as that is only 3 Tracks wide.

Yes Paul, When the chap on Facebook said about the River Axe going over the Guitars then I could not un see that, so it had to be worked in somehow, without loosing the rigidity of the Board.

No need - the reflections look good as river 'weeds' as they are already.

Wow Andy your speed of creation is impressive even by your standards I like the new section so glad that you have not sold SMS. There must an interesting family tale to tell if Lazy Joe was in the cabin when it was moved, when he wakes up he’s going to wonder where the hell he is
