SDJR7F88 Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Looks great! I may have missed it somewhere but what are the overall dimensions? Thanks mate! No you have missed it, I just never have got around to measuring it It's just over 4ft long and about 14 inchs wide, that a rough guess. All fits neatly on top of an Ironing Board Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDJR7F88 Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 After nearly 2 years of hibernation, Compton Quay is making yet another return, this time at the Weston-Super-Mare Model Train Show, happening this coming Sunday, 15th January 2017. In this update, I go though what I've done to get the layout ready for it 4th and largest outing to-date, as well as discuss information on the show itself. If your attending the show, please feel free to come over and say Hi!Hope you enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmBqlmRbkrY Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDJR7F88 Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) Had a superb day at the Weston-Super-Mare Model Train Show, displaying Compton Quay. The layout performed extremely well, as did the operators. Special thanks to Adam and Oliver for the help. Was nice to meet some new fellow modellers and RMweber's too, plus see all the other superb layouts on display. All for a good cause too! A massive thanks to Keith for a very well organized show as perusal. Think this image really sums up the day very well. Still leaves the question "How many men does it take to do the Ironing" Pictures and a full video of the layout are to follow, but in the mean time. Here's my full video of the event. Hope you enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vw8d8mrEBK0 Edited January 16, 2017 by SDJR7F88 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDJR7F88 Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 A short video taking a look at my 00 Gauge Micro Exhibition Layout "Compton Quay", based on a fictitious Dockside Scene. The layout consists of two dock side sidings, with a low-relief warehouse, dock gate house and an engine room building (which is used as a pumping house for the dock itself), which hides the entrance to the small fiddle yard. The dockside itself is cobbled, created but a using very simple technique, involving modelling clay and an old pen. One of the layouts most interesting features is that it stands on top of an Ironing Board, showing its simplicity and size. Compton Quay will be on display this November at the following shows; Wincanton Model Railway Exhibition - 11th/12th November Thornbury & SG Model Railway Exhibition - 18th/19th November Burnham & District Model Railway Exhibition- 25th/26th November Hope to see you there! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nye-j1xYUiE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
