DanielB Posted January 2, 2020 Author Share Posted January 2, 2020 Still waiting for my second pair of boards to turn up, so progress has been pretty much non-existant for the last couple of days. I've been cutting out parts for the next structure in the Scalescenes kit, but beyond that, not a lot happening. Once those boards turn up, and I get a decent chunk of time free enough to modify them and get them all assembled, then we'll see some real progress - I hope! Considering how thin on the ground money is until the end of Jan (stupid work, paying me twice in december, meaning 6 weeks between paydays), this project is what will be keeping me going, I think. I've also got Operation Dark Winter (US HO scale micro layout) to finish before Mansfield show in a few months time. That's my February project, I think.

DanielB Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 This evening has seen progress on Structure C from the boxfile kit. I like this one, it reminds me of a lot of the industrial/steelworks buildings in and around Sheffield. 11 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisis Rail Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Good stuff going on here - all well and its a freebie - Yes Scalecenes can put some good stuff out if you have the patience. The one error I made is that card doesn't take to damp garages easily and soon became compost *A liberal spray of the wife's hairspray is a good damp and colour sealant apparently. **Unscented spray is available unless you want your warehouse smelling like a tart.

Rather that than my tart smelling like a warehouse... (no matter the sort of tart)... Liking the look of the warehouse @DanielB have been tempted with the warehouse kit myself but think I'll stick with SMS laser cut affairs.

DanielB Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 Quick update for now: the second pair of baseboards arrived today so I can start looking at modifying them to fit the track plan. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanielB Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 Don't forget the smell of river water and moss! All jokes aside, Bakewell is a lovely town - hopefully Peak Rail will get the go ahead to extend their line from Rowsley to Bakewell station. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielB Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 Though I've been quiet lately due to working on my HO micro layout, I have had a few hours this week to continue on the boxfile kit. This part of the build is going to require modifications to fit the laser cut baseboards I'm using for the layout, so I've added a wall from a kit from Model Railway Scenery to the front edge of the loading dock. Still a long ways to go with this one. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanielB Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 Not much progress on Doe Lea lately, as I've been splitting my attention between this, my US micro, painting wargaming figures and playing the new Call of Duty on xbox. That said, today I took the baseboards out into the garden between bouts of rain, and smoothed down all the edges where I'd performed surgery to remove bits here and there to fit the track plan. Next I'll need to implement some form of method of joining the baseboards together and then it'll be ready for track laying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielB Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 After a long bout of zero motivation, I've decided to focus on this layout again. My inspiration to build it was always my grandad, my dad and my uncle being miners. Well, my grandad is very poorly and I think working on this layout will help me cope. Anyways, I've ordered some figures from Modelu to crew my peckett, and I've started working on some more buildings for the layout. This was a few hours progress from last night: 2 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
