turtlebah Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Hi Nick, I've has the pleasure of seeing Much Murkle in the flesh at two recent events, firstly at Ally Pally and more recently at Fareham. It's a wonderful layout and the attention to detail is something I will certainly aspire to. I'm particularly interested in your platforms though. I too am using the scalescenes red brick platform walls, but what did you use for the platform tops? Kind regards, Nick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too am using the scalescenes red brick platform walls, but what did you use for the platform tops? Kind regards, Nick Hi Nick The platform top is made from 2mm card. The area in front of the station building is covered in Scalescenes paving and the other areas are covered with a very fine dust that I found on a mountain track in Northern Cyprus, almost talcum powder consistency. Any fine dust would do though. Laid on a bed of neat pva and tamped down with a small piece of plywood. Excess was vacuumed off when the glue had set.

Thanks for finding the time to tell me about the storage cassettes and the possible problems to avoid. Hopefully your experience will save me some time and money!

martin.a.ball Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Managed to see Much Murkle yesterday at the Salisbury MR show. Easily the most atmospheric layout on show and you can almost hear the rural wildlife chirping away in the background. Thanks to Nick and Mick for chatting about the scenics and their constructions methods. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin, thanks for noticing, hope I'm going to see you there. The photos are from those taken by Trevor Jones for the 2012 Hornby Magazine article. They make interesting comparison with Andy York's photos taken for the 2015 BRM article. The sack store has dissapeared to be replaced with the yard crane, loco's weathered and much detail added around the layout. Much Murkle has three more shows booked this year; Woking REC show on 10 & 11th September http://www.rec-farnborough.org.uk/exhibition.html The Great Electric Train Show at Gaydon on 7 & 8th October (see Robin's link above), and Taunton Railex on 21 & 22nd October http://www.somersetrmc.org.uk/Rail-EX/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold nickwood Posted September 6, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 6, 2017 (edited) For three months Much Murkle has languished in a corner of the garage. I spent yesterday cleaning the stock and it's going to be a busy day today getting the layout out of it's crate for testing and cleaning ready for it's next show at REC Woking this weekend.
