Minsterley - Modern Image OHLE Layout

Recommended Posts

My modern image layout is about half complete. OHLE seems to take an age to build, but hopefully worth it. Ive added a few pics below.

Took me about a year to make the garage that it's in habitable, but I'm now finally able to build the layout.

Thankyou Karl & Ragtag. I will put on a few more pics of some of the OHLE gantries that I've yet to put on the layout. The gantries (Portals) and headspans are mainly brass, soldered. I use H-section columns and c-section  for the gantry legs and cross-pieces ans 30 thou brass wire for the registration arms.

I've not seen a single train proper train on this layout and yet the images are completely captivating! Fantastic OHL, loads of atmosphere, just noticed some third rail for the first time in your latest pictures too.

 

I don't know if you've already covered it, but is there a specific time and location the layout will be based on? (The GNER carriage suggests ECML but the OHL looks more WCML and the third rail.....places south!)

 

Cheers
