Mike Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 A bit more work on the transhipment shed, roof unfinished awaiting delivery from Slaters, no downpipes or guttering awaiting delivery of tube and half round styrene. The staircase is still not attached to the main building, but I have fitted the doorknobs and telephone insulators, the wiring will be added later. I have also distressed some of the brick work on the canal side of the building, still lots to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 As previously posted Reely Grate will be at Kettering on 1st March 2014, the big surprise is that one of my ex layouts Lenches Bridge - now called Bankfield Road is also at the venue. So in effect I will have two layouts there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daifly Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Another double-header, Mike! Just like the Hardwicke Show last year with your Spinners End and former Ashwood Basin there too. There must be nearly enough ex-Mike layouts out there to have an exhibition of just your stuff! See you at Kettering Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Well, it's a bit like waiting for a bus, several all come along together. Tonight I have received two more invites. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 OK. here's the first rushes of the crossing Keepers building based on the photo in the background. It's a sort of the one at Holly Bank, I thought it slightly different from the norm Still loads to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Just getting to grips with what will be the viewers side of Primrose Hill. Baseboard next, then track laying (already built) and then the buildings finally plonked. The buildings are only those that front the layout, the factory buildings including the forge will be next to be built and will form part of the back-scene. The track work will be then framed as per Reely Grate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted February 15, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 15, 2014 This is shaping up to be every bit as good as Reely Grate, keep up the good work It's a good job you have shown us a photo of the prototype for the crossing keepers house, no one would believe you otherwise Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 OK it's almost done, requires ends on the gutters a good clean then paint and final detailing. I've just noticed a sign on the original which reads British Legion so that will have to go on. It's my take on the structure in the book as I would not have had enough room to build it as is, simply because you wouldn't see the railway and it would have been far to crowded. I will be adding the 2 barriers as it is opposite the pub on two gates lane. OOPs! I need a finial for the top of the spire. Next on the agenda is:- non copy-write photo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

65243 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Watching this one carefully, Mike. That crossing keeper's cottage is lovely; of course, now you've made a model of it, everybody will want one. I've also actually started my Reely Grate/Moxley Heath rip-off reinterpretation in P4. SWMBO says I have to finish it (unlike all my prevoius layout attempts) ... so no pressure.

steaming_chris Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I was looking through flickr and saw the following picture and thought of your great building modeling http://www.flickr.com/photos/19672531@N00/10153598756/in/photolist-gteRaw-fwN9EC-gpCiV4-b7YEhe-9ARMc6-9ARM8v-fnSR3V-fnZT5z-foiVKj-fnUVzX-fo7b13-foe3Yh-fo9vkL-fofLWm-foitEQ-fnWfZx-fo5jjC-fnXRMg-fnPGMM-fnUanM-fo7i1Y-fnZJFB-fnTb2v-fnX2dD-fnUnD4-fod2GG-fnNzS2-fo6vyB-fobUUU-fo3DvW-fo3Eog-fofsdd-fo6kFY-fo7WKL-fnSxwR-fnQAAV-fnQwFD-fnY3Fx-fo8DzJ-foe6C1-foboLQ-foiQ3u-foeEYj-fnYodV-fobQTE-fnZ7Ac-fnQMSM-fokFJf-fobseG-fo2s1i-foiqKj Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Structures set out to get a feel of how the frontage will look, ply surface is not the real baseboard top.That still has to fixed in place. Base under staircase has warped so needs careful straightening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Perhaps this should start with "Can you tell what it is yet"? Answers on a post card please and no shouting from the back.OK, its the start of Noah Hingleys Factory in low relief which will sit against the backboard and hide the switches for point and sections. It's 2mm lite-ply with plasticard overlays the blank areas are where the windows will be, I have already cut the plasticard for these recesses, However I am awaiting the windows via EDM from Port Wynnstay The black areas will be concrete and the windows will have concrete headers and sills.
