StuartM Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 The back scene is no work of art, but I'm hoping that with buildings in front of it, no one will notice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold SHMD Posted March 24, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 24, 2014 Hi stuart, I liked pictures 2 and 3. (I didn't like the first picture :- composition, angle, distance, 3D emphasis, I don't know. So, rounding-up, I gave you a like! Kev. (Keep up the good work.)

autocoupler942 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 How about some foot access up to/down from the high level tracks? With a handrail! Opposite one of the barrow crossings? Latest photos looking great! More videos soon please? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John lewsey Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Hi Stuart are the mainlines a static display or are there going to be fiddle yards John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartM Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Hi Stuart are the mainlines a static display or are there going to be fiddle yards John The four mainlines are at this stage purely scenic, although they are soldered for electrical continuity. This small layout was built as a shunting plank, but evolved along the way, with my thinking being that I would build a number of layouts in modular form that one day can all be plugged together, but that remains to be seen. Autocoupler: some more video's maybe one day when I have converted enough stock and have actually finished. I've got to the stage now where I need to go and do something different and come back this layout with renewed interest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartM Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 A new gantry (nod to Ben A for suggesting this earlier) Not exactly finescale and not exactly sure if its suitable, so I shall live with it for a few days before making it permanent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crosland Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 A new gantry (nod to Ben A for suggesting this earlier) Not exactly finescale Once weathered and "bedded in" I'm sure I would have been quite happy to believe it. Now you've spoilt the illusion :-) Andrew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuartM Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 I thought people who are starting out in the hobby might be interested in this photo which shows just 'some' of the structures that have been built and then rejected during the making of this model, which includes 2 platforms, one of which was adapted to receive the control panel, all of which was then rejected when the panel was moved to another position and the yard altered. 3 types of platform canopy mock up, 4 building mock ups, 1 portacabin, a yard hut and a fright canopy. This does not include the final freight depot which was rebuilt from the balsa used to make the initial mock-ups, and don't even get me started on the number of attempts to get the retaining walls either side of the bridge right. And then there was the track! The point being for new comers is to realise that a man who never made mistakes never made anything, don't be afraid to make something and then bin it for something better.
