kevpeo Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 It's been a while but progress is slowly being made - A backscene of small 2d trees has appeared between the road bridge and factory building. This will be the backing to a group of 3d trees in front. Some small fence 'cages' have also appeared to keep trespassers away from the 25kv too! Speaking of the factory this has also been installed - This had warped badly during construction, so was glued along the lower edge and bedded in with 'weeds', before a few days later pinning the top back flat to the backscene. While I was adding the 'leaves' to the 2d trees I had to put the layout on its back so the opportunity was taken to finish wiring in all the lights - And of course one of the platform ones then promptly failed. Oh well, I have a couple of spares! The 'duck' has also acquired gutters and downspouts. It looks like Parrot Halls appearance at Stafford show is not happening, so I don’t now which be the layouts first show now that it is getting dangerously close to being finished!

I'm sure I remember one of his blog posts from lots of years ago? http://www.wellsgreen-tmd.co.uk/omwbaug07.htm Edited December 9, 2017 by carlw 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sf315 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Hello Yes James did bring his depot layout to Lyddrail. The 2mm one was Shaweport. If I can remember one year I posed an 86 I’d painted in EWS on a peice of track and put a couple of overheads masts with wire on and came 3rd in best layout. Would look forward to seeing this at Lyddrail though Kev. Thanks Steve. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie75 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I really like this layout. It's very atmospheric, and nicely modelled. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post kevpeo Posted June 17, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2018 With only a month to go before Parrot Hall makes its long trip to the deepest darkest, sorry the sunny south, (as long as work dont b****r it up!) a few small jobs have been done, firstly trees, small ones - Crash barriers, a skip, plus some car parking - More cars have been aquired and detailed as needed. None of these will be fixed down as they will vary with the period the layout is running in. And by the Duck some badly stacked picnic tables and another skip - I did order some beer kegs/barrels too, but they haven't shown up yet! An awful lot of fine detailing still needs to be done, but there are now no 'bare bits' so now I need to think about which stock to take and give the layout a good clean! 23 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevpeo Posted June 30, 2018 Author Share Posted June 30, 2018 After some letter correspondence with Dave Lewis at Southern Pride Models, I'm very happy to announce that I'm now the proud owner of a 304/2 kit. I had just about given up on one of these after Dc kits stopped doing kits, and the SPM website always said unavailable! While I was at it, I also slipped and ordered a 305/2 as well!!!! The 304 to be finished in reggie rail stripes and the 305 in GMPTE colours. Next payday I'll order a couple of Replica chassis. Kev. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
