Kelly Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 So, decided going to attempt to enter the challenge. Have been in discussions with Natalie about various ideas and making use of her knowledge and resources. I think together we've formulated a possible idea. No plan as yet, but progressing with idea still. Liable to be based around a LT Steam shed, with a pannier tank involved as well as maybe some sort of battery loco depending upon what ends up being able to fit etc when I've gotten hold of some materials, etc. Main criteria is as cheap as possible as am skint, but have a Mainline 57xx Pannier tank and some Dapol 16t minerals that should do the job as well as a Street Level Models card kit for a ballast motor.

L49 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I like the sound of this! It would be good to have something new and exhibitable in LT modelling. Looking forward to seeing it progress. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything LT related is interesting to me, although primarily i'm interested in SR Electrics (grew up near bexleyheath/erith, so tube didn't get down far enough).

Kelly Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Added a rough Inkscape sketch of the possible plan for the diorama. Rather than model the entire shed, going to model the outside/front and the ashpits/lines outside of it. But leave it with the possibility of having the rest of the shed added later as a second module. Its starting to come together in my mind with assistance from Natalie. Now to get some foamboard and plasticard soon... oh and some track would help perhaps... kelly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 Sadly, due to health and other issues, this never came to pass. Instead I'm thinking of making it into a small layout as something simpler and quicker to get started with than the 'chilmark' located layout.
