O gauge photo diorama (Riverside Works)

[PannierTanker14]

The frame is looking good, if I do say so myself.

 

The problem is that I miscalculated the wood needed and now need another trip to the hardware store to get some more, along with some plasticard for the building shape.

Soonish I will have the backboard nailed to the back of the frame, with the little door built in to house the light switch. 
 

it’s large enough to have a MK1 coach on it but I doubt I’ll need to have one of them in my shunting layout. 
The diorama will be used to photograph the wagons with a nice background to them for the puzzle cards and also to set up little scenes like a wagon being unloaded or a loco being repainted. 
if it at all falls under the category of a micro layout, the diorama also might attend shows (unlikely since it’s just a board with some track on it in the shape of a building)

 

progress continues!

i still aim to have it looking somewhat like what I want it to look like soon!

Here’s an old photo of before the diorama had its wooden frame in place.

 

I look at the RTR o gauge A4 and think “one day...”

(because this is in fact a Hornby Mallard in the magic of illusion)

Progress has pretty much ground to a halt again, with the diorama now serving as a temporary shelf for an old 90s christmas train whilst I find time to acquire more components for it. 
It’s still gotten further than any of my other projects and I still think it’ll be done before summertime.

A backboard has been added. Next to create the building shape and place foam board with windows.

Progress continues!
