hybridangel77 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 glebe road is coming on slowly as i did not spend much time on it over summer as it was too nice to be stuck in the loft. im currently installing new platform and street lights as well as signals to the layout but that is taking forever as i hate electrics. but i have got myself two new locos this week which i will show in the next update when ever that happens.

Timtrains66 Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 Hi Ian, thanks for the kind comment. The lamposts are from Kytes lights and the shelters are made by Creative Master Northcord. Hope this helps. Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timtrains66 Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 Hello all ! I've made a running video of the layout (trains running not the layout). The french postal service has managed to loose a couple of decoders that i had ordered ! Well done for that. But here are a few pictures of the layout. New arrival on the layout !! Very happy And work continues at Chirk Lane ! Thanks for looking ! Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timtrains66 Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 Hi Neil, well not that much actually. I put the layout to one side for the moment as my looking forward to go off travelling before I have to start work again in December. Plus the fact that my funds are running low ! I don't think there will be any major works until I get back in April. That's the way life is, you can't have everything ! Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Hi As your track is pretty much done, and you have the back boards in place I would suggest a little emulsion paint, some pale blue on the back and some brown / grey on the cork will liven it up no end, if you get 3 old spray bottles (old kitchen cleaning ones are useful) and a little grey, beige, and brown or grey, so could also touch up the tunnel mouth. Looks interesting shall pop in occasionally to see your work. nice to see youngsters in the hobby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not able to do any work on the layout as i'm working in Courchevel in the french alps until april. But thanks for the tips. It's going to be a long 4 months without a layout to work on !

Jaz Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Ah that's my mistake, I had thought it grey for some reason, Working in the snow will be fun though, get pictures in case you fancy using it for reference!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
