Eastbury Yard (a modern era yard somewhere in the South West)

Evening, 

I was in the garage yesterday and started having ideas! Don't worry I'm not ripping it all up.

I've removed the small brick bridge and extended the visible part of the layout, which means the depot has expanded slightly. Nothing too extreme, I've just extended the sidings into a loop with a two road depot building. 

 

I've kept it simple and avoided adding lots of sidings to the depot. See, I'm learning.

 

The plan is still to have the place looking run down, with the single road shed and office still out of use. 

The two road shed is from Bachmann but has been modified so it doesn't look like every other depot.

 

It's work in progress but thought I'd share the changes.

Thanks for looking,

Evening,  

I'm  out in the garage listening to the Super Cherries on BBC radio solent, its half time so thought I'd post a quick update. 

 

I've started to add some greenery now and also added the stone to the piles in the virtual quarry.

 

The depot area is starting to come along nicely too, I'm pleased I removed the bridge and road, it opens up the area and with the modified track plan it gives a bit more operational interest.

It wouldn't take much to step back to the 90's. (Apart from all the stock!) :D

 

Hmmm, I'm liking the retro feel..

Nice routing for 37421, Lol....

 

I think you are another modeller who will shortly be starting a 1990’s fleet.

Its contagious Nigel.

And gets BIGGER.:o

Bit of a 90's Eastleigh theme.:D

Evening,

I've started to add greenery to the new part of the depot, only a base layer at the moment but the splash of colour makes a nice visual improvement, well I think it does anyway. :D

My pair of 08's can be seen parked side by side in the freshly grown area, I also extended the line nearest to the camera purely for effect, as you can see its going to be modelled as an overgrown unused track and adds no operational interest.

Afternoon.  

This may come as a surprise, but this layout has now been scrapped. 

I've decided to concentrate my efforts on smaller diorama type layouts  instead. 

Thanks as always to those that have contributed to the content with ideas and encouragement. 

 

I've started a new thread on the box file  page  although my current project is a bit larger than a box file,  so may start yet another thread here! 

 

  Cheers

Scott
