RMweb Gold Ralf Posted March 24, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) Hi all, Have gone and purchased a Scale Model Scenery BB017 Baseboard which will measure 1102 x 221 (https://www.scalemodelscenery.co.uk/bb017-micro-layout-baseboard-in-a-box-1-1102-x-250-x-221mm-7891-p.asp) and I'm looking for something that's industrial to model (in OO) in the space that looks vaguely realistic / plausible... There'll be a fiddle stick on the end too so the layout can fill the baseboard without needing an on scene head shunt... Not fussed particularly what the industry is, operational interest is important, so tempted with 3-2-2 Inglenook BUT can't dream up and ideas where it'd look like it might be a real location without resorting to hallucinogens... Has anyone any thoughts on? Really stuck for inspiration and terrible at decisions! Thanks Ralf Edited March 24, 2020 by Ralf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RexAshton Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 This is quite a nice idea in Barry Norman's layout design book. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is indeed, have finally found it on NLS maps too! Didn't help the plan above has been reversed to the other side of the viaduct nor that it's been gone a long while by the looks of it. Off to find some prototype information... Especially keen on the scrapyard years if anyone has any pointers! Indeed where better to look than the prototype questions corner of RMWeb - link for future referance - https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/152791-wellington-road-goods-depot-stockport-and-scrap-yard/ Ta Ralf Edited March 26, 2020 by Ralf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

davknigh Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 If you don’t mind using an existing layout as a starting point there’s Arun Quay. The original is in O scale and would shrink quite close to your dimensions if modelled in 00. Cheers, David 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks David, went shopping for a back issue of MRJ 258 and ended up spending £72 at Book Law - 3 books also slipped into my basket that I was after anyway!

Oooooh having just received MRJ 258 I'm very impressed and yes it'd scale to 1200mm x 280mm so I'm sure with some Templot-ing I will be able to squeeze it in, and probably give it an E Anglian flavour....
