Fantastic little cameo scene within a fantastic model in itself. Wonder what there chatting about?

By the way, the chap drinking the tea, have you met his identical twin....

Just caught up with this and gone through from start to date and must say its a very clever and effective way of utilising a Cakebox Challenge model after its finished with.

Did you plan this from the beginning?

 

Lovely modelling.

Thank you Kevin. No not at all, it had been stored away until I had a suggestion from Mikkel on one of my other threads that I should try and extend it. A little bit more contemplating followed then I made a start, I knew I wanted to keep it as a micro though.

This all looks brilliant. Can I ask how you operate the layout, given that the two tracks from off-scene converge on the scenic section?

 

Thank you. The layout lives on a shelf in my living room and I mainly just have it as a scenic display. When I do want to shunt a few wagons around, the houses on the bridge lift out so I can get to the hidden sidings.

 

Regards Paul.

Gaps filled in, a bit of greenery added and the sets weathered. Next up will be adding the water.

First of all, this layout is incredible!!

 

Secondary, what foliage and trees did you use? As the ones I'm using on my layout don't seem to look half as real as yours!

Quick question Paul, what did you use for the top of the doors?

 

I'm putting this kit together and realised mine doesn't look anywhere near as yours lol.

Hi GWR_Mike, I do tend to change these kits, and use a bit of plastic here and there. I used some wills wooden planks for the top of the doors.
