Jerry1975 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Hi Everyone. As some of you will know I have been away from railway modeling for a while, I have been concentrating on my new business. Anyway, this is my new layout and it's based on the billy bookcase oo gauge layout in BRM magazine. It's 3ft x 1ft plus a little fiddle stick on the right hand side. So far track is laid and wired and I have been testing it. Here is a quick photo: More soon. Jerry. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Berry Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Very interesting layout. I follow it with great interest. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry1975 Posted November 15, 2019 Author Share Posted November 15, 2019 Thanks for all of your replies everyone. Next jobs ( if I can tear myself away from testing ) are painting the tracks and ballasting. I'm going for a urban slightly run down look, 50s through to the 70s possibly. Class 04 and 08 will be used for later period and small tank engine's for earlier period. More soon. Jerry. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry1975 Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) Hi Everyone. Thanks for all of your replies, likes etc. I have added an extra siding bottom right which is just a 14 inch long or so piece of flexi track and I have completed a small factory that's a Metcalfe kit. I will post a photo later. Jerry. Edited November 19, 2019 by Jerry1975 spelling mistake 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry1975 Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 Hi Everyone. I had quite a busy week getting things ready for a craft fair but that is over now and I can get a little bit of modelling done. I need to paint the sides of the track and ballast it, so that's the next job. Jerry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Cockburn Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Looks a rather interesting concept, look forward to seeing it develop further .... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry1975 Posted December 9, 2019 Author Share Posted December 9, 2019 Thanks Andrew. I have been very busy lately so haven't had any time at all for modelling but I'm going to take a day or two off and relax ( modelling is great for this ). An update soon. Jerry.

Jerry1975 Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 Hi Everyone. I just didn't like my first idea for the layout so I'm for an inglenook, simple, fun and hours of pleasure. I also managed to find a slightly longer board which means I can get a small loco and 2/3 wagons depending on size in the head shunt. More soon. Jerry. Merry Christmas to you all. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry1975 Posted December 14, 2019 Author Share Posted December 14, 2019 Hi Everyone. Well, I have gone for a inglenook layout, based heavily on Alan Wright's version but not a direct copy. So far track is laid and mostly painted, here is a progress photo: Also some buildings placed on to get a feel for how it may look. More soon. Jerry. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a quick photo: More soon. Jerry. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry1975 Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 Hi Everyone. Done a bit more to the layout today, added grass and stuck buildings down. Here are a photo of the layout: End of the line, showing the goods yard area. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
