Bungus the Fogeyman Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Funny, I was just wondering about the spate of Scottish termini that popped up on here, and how they were coming along just this week! This one has worked out very well indeed! Very nice. Disgusting of Market Harborough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevo Posted November 8, 2020 Author Share Posted November 8, 2020 There you go strange things do happen It was only sheer chance i had dragged it out to have a look as i have to admit i was eye ing up the base board for another project i had in mind . but now ive had a look i think its safe .

kevo Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 Thanks indeed for the comments chaps very kind . it still needs a few bits like passangers on the platfom . well not to many as room is tight . mind you summer hikers etc . and there is the problem of a signal of some kind at the end of the platform all to think off . and i need a class 121 for the passangers as there is no way of squeez ing a single coach and loco on there . For earler time span late 1960's etc i have a parkroyal rail car so that takes care of that . 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bungus the Fogeyman Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 On the subject of passenger trains, why not try 'bitza' trains. Run your loco of choice into the platform with the carriage of choice, allow time for your passengers to disembark then propel it back into the run round loop (i.e. the fiddle yard), plonk the loco onto the other end of the train and propel the carriage back into the platform, the secret is not to show its a single coach train by always leaving part of it under the bridge......... Just a thought Disgusting of Market Harborough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevo Posted November 12, 2020 Author Share Posted November 12, 2020 i have just been trawl ing through some old pics and came across , thease its the original fort henderson layout i built a long time a go and where i pinched the name from for my micro . in fact the base board was given to me by my friend of a faild southern region layout he never started . his idear was to get me back in to oo scale as i was more in to narrow gauge at the time . 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks really effective: things like the tufts of weeds growing out of the bridge really show the attention to detail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevo Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 Thanks Keith glad you like it . i got the layout back out from under my work bench with the in tension of do ing some more work on it . But so far nothing has happened as i have now started Mucking around with some ON30 bits . but that all ways happens with any of my builds they get near 90% finished and putt away till that last burst of effort comes back . the class 24 needs a decent dcc decoder as it ran like pants . i might have a spare one knocking around some where and fit it . a lot of my decoders end up being swapped around till i loose track of them. and some hedgeing is needed to go behind the low wall station end .them the jobs go on and on . 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
