grahame Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Just discovered this thread - excellent. I'd see the layout at TINGS a year or two back and was impressed then. But the story of the layout's development, here on the thread, makes for fascinating reading. G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently working on some Farish mineral wagons to replace the Peco kits. Also, after some comments on the lighting, I have obtained some warm white LED strip to replace half the current cool white LEDs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1059 Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) City Basin Goods was at the East Surrey N Gauge exhibition last weekend - nice show. Thanks to all involved One photographer was using a small cube video camera and produced this video to show some unusual views of CBG - see 2:53 onwards.

alangdance Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Just seen this for the first time what a lovely layout. If you don't mind where did the tank unloading gear come from. Like to see a new update if you have any. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Some "different" shots of a very interesting layout, lots of wagons and shunting, what's not to like. Please don't take this as outright criticism, (my track laying is crap anyway! so I can't pick on others!), just an observation, but I think the photographer is onto a new form of checking for track imperfections! Have you any upcoming exhibitions? MIke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1059 Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 Thanks guys The camera certainly does pick up imperfections - and I spent a LOT of time carefully laying the track on City Basin Goods to ensure it was kink free The tank unloading gear was a gift from a fellow club member who had it going spare and is scratchbuilt Exhibitions for City Basin Goods this year are Cheltenham 4-5th April Fareham - 25th April Wing - which is either 26th September or 3rd October (I shall have to check as my diary still has both dates in it) Oxford - 11th October 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanielB Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Agreed. Always one of my favourites. Once the pandemic wanes and we get to return to some semblance of normal, I'd love to see it in the flesh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1059 Posted November 16, 2022 Author Share Posted November 16, 2022 Bout time I added something to this thread again Now retired so more time to indulge in modelling, photography, and drooling over some of the layouts posted up on here (just catching up after some time away from RMWeb) A recent EBay purchase is now ready for service after couplings changed and weathering completed 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1059 Posted December 12, 2022 Author Share Posted December 12, 2022 (edited) I've been wanting to take shots of the layout for some time that replicate the techniques that Chris Nevard uses having seen how he made City Basin Goods look in Model Rail Finally got round to trying focus stacking of shots this morning and it works quite well, although not yet up to Chris's standards Here's my efforts Edited December 12, 2022 by D1059 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

D1059 Posted October 27, 2023 Author Share Posted October 27, 2023 Two new pieces of motive power for City Basin Goods. Now weathered and nearly ready for service I know the Clayton isn’t WR but I couldn’t resist. It’ll be in industrial service as a super shunter tripping aggregate wagons to/from the exchange siding. After all that’s how D8568 survived working for Ribble Cement 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
