Jerry1975 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 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. Another view. Yard lamps added. so this is how it looks so far, much work to do. More soon. Jerry. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzer42 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Those Wills kits are lovely for small layouts. I've just used those and the small signal box and pill box to do a layout for my dear old dad. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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: More soon.

Jerry1975 Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 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.

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.

Jerry1975 Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 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. Overall view as of tonight. More soon. Jerry. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry1975 Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 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: Lady in red going to phone for a taxi to take her for a night out. Grass and weeds added to fencing. Overall view. I need to add a few more figures, some yard lights and some general clutter. More soon. Jerry. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
