gismorail Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Agree with your comments about the back scenes George , for a Bodgit he does do an amazing job fair play to the lad . The canopies are a real master piece George excellent work indeed and the whole layout is really coming to life now, it's amazing how a bit of greenery has such an effect on a layout. Thanks for sharing your project gentlemen 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

meowenuk Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Here’s a belated but heartfelt THANK YOU to Andy for his magnificent work on the backdrop, not forgetting my mate George without whose encouragement the project wouldn't have happened. See you in the morning buddy! Sweet dreams! Mark 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeT Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 Morning Martin, And thanks for the kind word's of encouragement, l am glad Mark commissioned me to help him out in building the layout from scratch, all the buildings and bridges are all built in wood, card, papers and cardboard with laser cut windows and doors, the signal's and ground signal's are just cosmetic and non-working (unlike yours) but they look the part, also Mark bought a very beat up standard Class 2MT 2-6-0 78056 that needed some work as it was in a bit of a mess, so l had to clear out the non-working and broken plunger pick-ups and add some wiper pick-ups instead, also l added a DCC chip, plus l replaced a missing front step and touched up on the paint work, to finish l left her in a work grubby condition... 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Major Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 My word George. When you said to me at the last High Lane meeting that this project was coming on in leaps and bounds you weren't joking. It is looking fantastic. When I get the test track wiring completed (a few more weeks) I will get the chance to look at it in the flesh again.

meowenuk Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I’m not a great one for surfing the web having spent the last 15 years of my working life totally dependent on it! However, i’ve been persuaded (on pain of death) that I need to acknowledge the amazing talent of George, and Andy of course, in helping me create and realise a lifetime’s ambition. Great stuff guys - thanks a million! Mark 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
