Hi Everyone.

 

This is my latest micro layout, after a few false starts I decided to build this from some scrap bits of wood left from other projects and use up some bits I have had lying about for a while.

 

It's 2foot long x 8 inches wide and OO gauge, it depicts a small yard in the country at the end of a spur, the station is assumed to the right off scene.

 

Here are a few photos of work so far:

Baseboard painted

Baseboard and backscene complete, buildings added but not stuck down yet.

Yard lamps added.

 

so this is how it looks so far, much work to do.

 

More soon.

Thanks OOman.

 

This morning I have been painting the two buffer stops for the layout.

Hi Everyone.

Jerry your micro layout is coming together nicely.

 

Thanks mate.

 

Hi Everyone.

 

I have been helping my mother in law with her new carpets the last couple of days but managed to do a bit more tonight.

 

I painted the sides of the track and made a start on the concrete back yards of the houses.

 

Here is a quick photo showing the layout as of tonight:

Hi Everyone.

 

Had a busy day today with the layout and got a lot done, some ballasting, weathering, adding grass/weeds and a few other things.

 

Here is a quick photo:

I'm going for a unkempt, last few weeks of use sort of look.

 

Still a bit to do, adding fencing to the back of the house, adding yard lamps, figures etc.

 

More soon.

Hi Everyone.

 

A bit of work today, I put a fence along the back of the coal yard and added a phone box, I'm going to add brick walling around the back of the house.

 

Here is a quick photo, sorry it's poor quality:

Nice little layout Jerry which has given me some more inspiration.

 

Thanks MrDuck, I also look at other layouts and in magazines for inspiration, the key with a micro layout for me is not to cram to much in, keep it simple but most of all have fun and enjoy what your building.

Hi Everyone.

 

Here is a quick update of the layout.

 

I have added walling and fencing to the houses and coal yard area, also dust bins and a bicycle.

Two lads are playing football ( need to make a ball ) in the alley way.

 

Here is a couple of photos:

Walling and gates.

Thanks guy's for your replies and kind words.

 

I managed to do some more work on the layout, painted up a figure, added some more grass/weeds to the fencing on the left hand side of the layout and scratch built a yard office ( which still needs a bit of work ).

 

Here are a couple of photos of latest work:

I need to add a few more figures, some yard lights and some general clutter.

 

More soon.
