ashl3y60 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Good afternoon, This is for the ongoing build of my 00 gauge exhibition layout Llandyfai. Its based upon the Arriva Trains Wales era from 2003 until 2008 in South Wales area. The layout has no fixed location within South Wales, despite the name Llandyfai translating to Lamphey in English with the actual village in South Pembrokeshire on the Pembroke Dock branch line. The layout is a simple end to end, built on two base boards, on with a station and town scene the other incorporating two sidings and behind them is the fiddle yard with the track mainly being SMP bullhead rail. The layout is fully operational, I'm just continuing with scenery and will try to keep this page updated. The layout is on both Facebook and Instagram @FourGreensRailway where many more photos and previous updates are available. Kind Regards, Ashley 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashl3y60 Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 Good morning, Just a photo of my platform, this was done around last spring and I haven't done much else to the platform since. Waiting to finish some larger projects off first, such as the backscene as I don't want to damage any of finer details that will be on the station area etc. The platform is made of solid wood, the edges made from PECO concrete platform edges and the platform coping is by Scale Model Scenery. The platform surface is a combination of Rust-oleum Concrete effect and Aged Iron textured aerosols, sprayed onto a sanded down Polyfiller surface. Cheers, Ashley 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pictures are quite poor at the moment, something I hope to rectify soon. I had originally used a different a different sized Scale Model Scenery platform edging but this didn't work so I used a smaller one. As a result I had to use more pollyfiller on the platform and used a different textured aerosol. This made my redoing of the platform look like it had been done on purpose.

ashl3y60 Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) Good afternoon, Some pictures of a recently completed project. I had got myself a Bachmann 150/1 in First Great Western livery with some damaged transfers, so thought I'd replace these using Railtec ones and conduct some interior upgrades at the same time. This involved the removal of excess plastic and adding thin wire to seat tops and poles within the units. These were then painted the appropriate colours, I also sprayed the interior white to brighten things up! Next some much needed weathering, but for now, some pictures!

ashl3y60 Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 Good afternoon, So the town scene is developing well, I've used Bachmann Scenecraft as I don't fancy scratch building it! These buildings will be heavily customised in time and the pavements finished off appropriately. Next is to finish the rear of the retail park and install it. This will finish off the backscene, then on to the road markings but I have no idea how I'll do those yet! Also, new phone so and new camera that isn't cracked aha nothing flashy but it's decent enough. Kind regards, Ashley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashl3y60 Posted May 12, 2021 Author Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) Hello again, Been awhile, but not much to report on the layouts scenery status at the moment, hopefully got some stuff to share soon though! I have however, been working on some stock including the interior of my ATW Class 143. Been a really fun project so far but only one coach completed currently and moving on to the next coach soon. Quite an array of modifications have been done on the interior that are visible from the photos below. My girlfriend kindly helped out by painting the seats for me, lucky me!
