RMweb Gold Sweet pea Posted November 3, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 3, 2020 Afternoon all. I have started to build a small table top layout called Boxton Yard. The name of the layout is fictitious but the theme of the layout is modelled around a busy coal yard, where coal and other aggregate are being brought in by rail. As you can see the baseboard is complete and the Peco track has been laid. I had to use Hornby track pins which are quite cumbersome but this should hide well once ballasting and weathering is applied. The layout will have a stick which will form the head shunt. I have added a picture of my progress.. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Keith Addenbrooke Posted November 3, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 3, 2020 Hi Kevin, have you ever put together any ‘portfolio’ photos with all your dioramas together: there’s quite a collection and they’re all very good - starting with the very neat woodwork each time. Be interesting to see how this one turns out. Keith. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some work has commenced on the yard office building, I have used a scalemodelscenery laser cut kit and also a laser cut kit for the coal staithe. Tomorrow the brickwork will be added to the office and hopefully start building the roof section. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechnicArrow Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 That's a fine little model, isn't it! It should look excellent on this layout, especially when surrounded by weeds and yard clutter. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the nice comments, the model has turned out great even though it’s been made into a low relief building. This is the entrance to a workshop which will run the length of the back scene. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Sweet pea Posted November 8, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 8, 2020 Hi I thought a would post a quick update. As you can see the entrance building to the workshop has been finished and once it’s in place I can do some more weathering. Hopefully the brick sheets will arrive this week along with 4mm scale laser cut workshop windows. In the front left corner will be a small embankment area which will have a brick wall around it. This will be planted with static grass and shrubs and there will be a small section where some soil and debris has cone over the brick wall. In the centre of the y point I have glued a piece of wood. This is where a raised platform will be to house a wills yard crane. I have added a picture of the layout to date: 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Sweet pea Posted November 10, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 10, 2020 Afternoon all. Today I have managed to glue the brick plastic sheets to the back and both sides of the yard. The small grassy section has had some brick sheets applied as well as the raised platform for the yard crane. The two joins at the back will be hidden with drain piping and weathering will be applied to all the brickwork once painted. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
