RMweb Gold Russ (mines a pint) Posted October 28, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 28, 2010 Very nice little layout, Errrr, the point in your photo looks very much like it has been built from copper clad, and the plan and photos just show the one point?????? Gordon A Bristol Well spotted, Gordon. That was just for trial purposes - when the track was finally stuck down, a Peco code 75 point was used. Here's a not-very-good picture of it: given how well hidden the point is by the platform you could almost argue that it would have been a waste of time to build one!

ladysplicer Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 The 'yellow' light in this picture does look atmospheric, though; like early morning/ summer evening to me though; the first or last train of the day... B) Hello i do like this picture what product did you use for the trees they look very good i could just see a class 22 with hoods rumble through the station:D cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northpoint Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 Hello i do like this picture what product did you use for the trees they look very good i could just see a class 22 with hoods rumble through the station:D cheers Thanks for your feedback. The trees are on a flat piece of board cut to profile and then covered with rubberised horsehair which has been sprayed with glue and sprinkled with ground foam. I am just waiting for the release of the Dapol class 22 ..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted November 25, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 25, 2010 Class 22 on flat tarps, maybe, but hoods post-dated the 22's withdrawal. Lovely little scene you have there by the way, Northpoint. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysplicer Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Ian - I deliberately took that picture against the garden shed as I thought it would contrast against my trees - I thought my trees got lost with the real trees in the background! But you're right, they do blend in quite well. I'm intrigued by your sloping background idea. What sort of incline would you envisage and how much space might it take up? Hello this is a great little layout i was wondering what product you used to make the trees they look very good also like the idea of no backscene just trees looks good. thanxs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northpoint Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 I suppose it's possible that somebody might still look at this thread occasionally - the layout has been accepted by Railway Modeller for publication, probably in October.

RMweb Premium eldavo Posted January 26, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 26, 2011 ... the layout has been accepted by Railway Modeller for publkication, probably in October. Great stuff. Should inspire a few of those folks who say they don't have room for a layout. Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
norfolkchinaclay Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Love this layout - exactly the sort of thing I had in mind! But now someone else has built it (and done a better job than I would have done no doubt) perhaps I should encourage the thoughts I've been having about Newmarket and that Bachmann class 105, an 03 and a couple of the new Grainflow wagons which are now on the way?

F-UnitMad Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Yes - well worth a look! Incidently, Nick, I take it they (RM) let you know in advance when they're going to publish a submitted article? I've done a write-up for a certain "very black" (your description!!) layout of mine for CM; they have been most interested, but I've not heard anything since I submitted the article and pics back in July....

noctilux2 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Apart from the final pic showing the layout within the frame, I note that there are no photos of the far left hand of the layout, ie the area to the left of the pub. Any chance of seeing some. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
