RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted September 22, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 22, 2018 Well it's that time of year again and a bunch of us have hired the hall to set up another monster layout. (Please note this is a private event so not open to view unless you contact Nick Palette due to insurance.) Build in progress from 08:00 Nearly done Diagram of the layout Kipling Foods warehouse stocked up 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zomboid Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) And if my flipping toilet hadn't broken I'd be joining you all. Still, I'm sure replacing the contents of a cistern is nearly as much fun. (0/3 with these things this year, with the weather wrecking the Epsom one, Christow clashing with my wife's birthday and emergency plumbing today... Better luck next year I guess!) Have fun everyone.

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted September 23, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 23, 2018 That looks like a whole pile of fun. Might try and get an invite to it next year maybe. Just ask we do all contribute to the hall hire so there is a small contribution to cover a visit but you can run trains so you really do get involved. You don't even need your own loco as you can team up with someone else as we need two man crews and use theirs. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium skipepsi Posted September 23, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 23, 2018 Really sad I couldn't attend but I have no plans for a heart attack next year or bypass surgery so hopefully next year...

shortliner Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) I'd just like to say a heartfelt "thank you" to all you guys who posted pictures of the event, for us long-way-away people who couldn't attend. It is really nice to see the "scenicifying" of the boards that has been taking place as the years go by - and the very useful pics of buildings - it gives me lots of ideas for background buildings on my layout attempts - much appreciation for your efforts.

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted September 24, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) Tiny one, ah found it Fiddlestick! Plus topics and those inspirations you post as well, with Lance Mindheims bits and then Rays monster End of the Spur, (edit to correct the layout!), warehouse tipped me over! I've done the Pikestuff kits but needed to get on an build something bigger where they actually look bigger than the train serving them! I had forgotten how small Fiddlestick was but the pic I'd saved was the impression I was after so thanks for that and keep the ideas going Edited September 24, 2018 by PaulRhB 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
