RMweb Gold Stuart A Posted June 11, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 11, 2019 (edited) After having an operational N gauge layout as a teenager over 20 years ago, I though I'd see how my modelling skills were with a diorama, before embarking on an operational layout. The aim was only to use items I had, either bits from the 25 year old layout that is long gone, or items I've collected over the years, each time with an aim of doing something with them, i.e. a RMWeb challenge, small terminus based on Buxton, both never materialised. (Having 3 daughters and a wife who works shifts and is doing a masters degree means I don't get much free time! Decided that a redundant shelf, similar to a Lack Ikea shelf (but from Home Bargains) would form a suitable base. Decided on an MPD set up, just so I could use it as a backdrop for the many locos I've collected over the recent years. Thought I'd document it on here and it might spur me on a bit! Landscaping started with discarded card packing from flat pack boxes. Just about ready to fix the ballast.

RMweb Gold Stuart A Posted June 16, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 16, 2019 Ballasting done. Not sure if I've overdone the oily weathering on the track. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Kevin Johnson Posted June 16, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 16, 2019 Nice work on the ballast Stuey. A lot of modellers don’t like the ballasting part of the hobby. Your Class 47 looks great Stuey another one of my favourite locos. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

porkie Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Looks good, always difficult to choose the correct sky back drop in N gauge. Think when it comes to doing my layout. I will get dark moody sky's 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stuart A Posted June 25, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 25, 2019 Adding some young trees to the embankment, can't decide if it looks ok, or perhaps needs more if them, or additional bushes. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stuart A Posted July 22, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 22, 2021 Thanks for the comments. No progress, I keep planning on a proper layout but time is at a premium.
