Rammy Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 Just to show that my progress has continued, I painted and weathered the beams today before gluing in place. I just need to keep up the momentum this week and get the internal walls done. Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poindexter Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Very impressive build going on there. Can't wait to see it finished and in place. Guy P.S. could do with a helix though or at least a spiral staircase. There all the rage you know! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted January 7, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 7, 2013 At this rate 'Mr Y' will have to create a sub heading "Helices"! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Hi Rammy, had a rare daytime run down to Maritime today, even more rare to drop a train off opposite the fuel point. Managed to get a quick photo in, had I have thought , I would have taken some more detail shots for you, but there were a couple of 'officials' walking about. Hope this is of interest. I didn't even make a note of the number, but this is a poorly Jocko on the fuel point - engine room doors were open on the other side and just before I took the picture, it was 'clagging' very well: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lyneux Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 HI Dave, The shed is starting to look nice. What materials are you using to construct it? Looks like printed card overlaid on wood? Guy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpleymodeller Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Hello Dave, Its been a while since I last had a look at First Avenue. Superb work on the scratchbuilt shed! How did you create the backscene? Is it a photo or is it a off the shelf item? Regards Lewis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammy Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 HI Dave, The shed is starting to look nice. What materials are you using to construct it? Looks like printed card overlaid on wood? Guy Thanks Guy. The design is printed on paper and stuck onto 1mm and 2mm Finnboard. I've used this stuff for a while now and really like it as it doesn't seem to warp as easy as normal card. Hello Dave, Its been a while since I last had a look at First Avenue. Superb work on the scratchbuilt shed! How did you create the backscene? Is it a photo or is it a off the shelf item? Regards Lewis Thanks for the comment Lewis. The backscene over the bridge is actually screenshots taken off Google Streetview from the real First Avenue bridge in Southampton. I will try and update the thread with more pics this weekend as I have made a start on the roof now. Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbull1845 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Hi Dave, Hope all is well. Hows the layout coming along? Cheers Scott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammy Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 Hi Scott The honest answer is, it isn't! Time just seems to be flying by and I have lost my interest at the moment. I think I need some good weather and some free time in order to get the layout out and dusted off. Enjoying an occasional visit on here to keep up with yours and other threads though. Hopefully I'll find my interest again shortly, maybe after the Derby show in May. Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitbull1845 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 HI Dave, Sorry for the delay in relpying. Glad all is well, I've had many moments where I lose my interest. The problem I have when I get it back is to change era or track layout!! I'm sure Mick will bring you "back in the room". Cheers Scott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammy Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share Posted May 25, 2013 I'm back! Finally, after getting some inspiration recently at the great Derby Show and following all of my favourite layouts on here, I dusted off the layout today and got it out of the shed. Whilst it was a nice day I decided to sand down some of the concrete area and used my dremmel to cut out the tracks where I had forgotten to create the groove whilst the filler was still wet! :-( The shed is almost finished now. I have not stuck the roof down yet as I was not 100% happy with it, but I think it will have to do for ow so I crack on with other things on the layout. No photos today, bt I will try and take a couple tomorrow to show where I am at. Probably wont look too different from my last photo really! Anyway it's good to be back and I will try my best to keep going now, although I might get slightly distracted if my plan to build a 3D printer goes ahead soon! Thanks for looking Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammy Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 Grabbed a couple of pics today after some more filling and sanding on the first board. As I said before the roof of the shed is not yet finished. I actually noticed today I have forgot to stick on the sheet for the underneath of the roof which will hide the window edges on the inside. Just marking out the second board now for where the fuel point and the red "phone box" hut will go, ahead of starting to lay the concrete. I then need to decide what will go in the big empty space to the right hand side. In reality this would be a grass & tree bank up to the car / van storage yard. I will make the bank but may use some modelling licence and actually store containers up there instead. Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
