RMweb Premium figworthy Posted October 11, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 11, 2013 Fantastic. I can see some useful hints there for when I get around to trying to build mine. Is it a trick of the light, or are you using brass section under the platform and along the top of the walls on the inside ? Adrian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravy Train Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the comments folks Hi Adrian , thanks re comments, yes its KS brass section were I felt it was needed, you will also notice that I wasn't overly particular during the construction with regard to the plasticard as it was to be covered with DAS, so didn't need to be too precise with it. Hi fender, that is a name familiar to me :-) I would just like to mention that in the past I used PVA on the plastic then laid the DAS over the top but now I use MEK it appears to grab better for me. cheers Peter Edited February 26, 2021 by Gravy Train Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_long Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 One question I couldnt see from the photos, how do you lay on the DAS in the first place? Do you roll it out and lay on then trim, or do you add it in lumps and spread around? Hopefully thats not a silly question? Regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravy Train Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 Hi Dave, I lay it on in one piece and roll it out like pastry :-), it all depends on how even you want it too. cheers Peer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

freebs Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Hi Peter, quick question if I may (and I hope you'll answer) I've just read through this amazing thread again as I've been looking for reference on Goods Shed interiors (I'm making my first ever interior!) and I not that in the early stages of this build, your roadside loading door was on the inside, but in later stages of the build it had gone and was now on the outside. Was this a change of mind? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravy Train Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 Hi freebs, yes, the door was altered as we found more info during construction, so we were able to alter it before the build was too advanced to do anything about it. If you are building a goods shed and you are not particular on prototype there are many books out there that are of help like Paul karau's GWR Architecture and LMS Architecture Reeves., and so on.

allan downes Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Peter, those pin holes on the interior Slaters stonework - are they for feeding the Mek-pak solvent through to the building carcass ? I ask this because I think Paul Bason does the same whereas myself I just use Evostik. Cheers. Allan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravy Train Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 Alan, the holes are for letting the fumes escape as the fumes cause so much damage re warping of plastic but if the golden rules are followed there is nothing then to worry about, my wall sections are a shell, cladded as opposed to laminations. cheers Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

allan downes Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Wow, stunning. It's a pity Hornby could not match your workmanship on their lineside structures instead of making a footbridge that resembles a Mr Kiplins cake. Quote of the year Allan.

RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted January 1, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 1, 2014 I'm sorry to have missed this thread when it first started. Fantastic work. However, I'm happy to contradict you on one thing: The goods shed at MW is still extant, having been converted into flats. The only thing demolished was the goods office at the southern end of the shed The shed is now part of a small housing development on the north end of the goods yard. The southern end is a builders yard and a pay and display car park. Regards Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravy Train Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Hi Richard,thank's for the compliment, I had no idea that the Goods shed was saved, I do know that the Station building is preserved and now accommodation in the guise of 3 separate dwellings in the one building. I did of course construct all the Wenlock railway buildings to commission for an EM private layout of which all are on RMweb someware, I don't know if the layout was ever finished but the buildings were constructed quite a few years ago now and sadly last year, the owner passed away, he was a real Gentelman of the rarest kind. cheers Peter A L Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
