Melangoose Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 19 hours ago, Temeraire said: Morning all Just a post to retrieve the thread from the hidden depths of RMweb and announce that Tidworth is due to appear at an exhibition THIS year! Obviously this is subject to all things being okay at the time but things look hopeful currently. Tolworth Showtrain 2021 Tolworth Recreation Centre, Fullers Way North, Tolworth, Surrey, KT6 7LQ. Saturday 14th November 10.00am - 5.30pm Sunday 15th November 10.00am - 5.00pm However, this means I need to get the layout up for the first time since Taunton 2019 and finish off the extension completely in time! Nice to hear that Tidworth will be coming out of it’s forced hibernation. Look forward to you posting some pictures in due course. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post Temeraire Posted September 26, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2021 (edited) Evening all, Time to resurrect Tidworth! Three weeks ago Tidworth was set up for the first time in two years since its last exhibition in Taunton for a our RMweb group day here that you may have seen mentioned in the Exford thread. Once erected a few visitors were removed! Line blockage at the overbridge! Someone left their skin behind! The middle two boards have been left up in the garage so I can finish off the extension and the join with the old end board, and I finally made a start this weekend.

RMweb Premium Popular Post Temeraire Posted September 26, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2021 (edited) So what have I been up to so far? First up the roadway regained its 'no overtaking' lines. Crash barrier finally added either side of the overbridge to keep the traffic off the railway! Top side of bridge. Then it was on to the job I haven't been looking forward to! Site prep for the addition of the gates to the MoD sidings. After a lot of faffing about plus swearing the gates in position. Rear view of the gates now awaiting rectification to fencing and ballast etc. Ballasted and fencing altered to fit. Not perfect but I should've done the gates before the fencing! Once all these little jobs are done everything will be weathered etc to blend them in, but at least I made a start finally on finishing the extension. All being well it will all be done in time for the Tolworth Exhibition in November. Edited May 28, 2022 by Temeraire 40 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob D2 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Good stuff there - I’m a big fan of the MOD stuff. Whose barbed wire fence did you use ? The ratio version drove me almost crazy , I wondered if it was something else ? White lines on the road are very neat as well ! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted September 27, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 27, 2021 Thanks Rob, the fencing came from Scale Model Scenery but was a special commission with the 'V' top although it may be in their range now if you ask. It drove me mad as there are 6 wires threaded through it with the 'V' so not something I'll be doing again anytime soon! The gates are left over from the Ratio fencing kit that I had lying around. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Popular Post Temeraire Posted October 19, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) Evening all So three weeks on and progress has been steady with an hour here and there and a fiddle each time I walk past the layout in the garage. Apart from some signs and bit of extra weathering to the track I think its pretty much done and I need to leave it alone! Firstly a couple of general overviews from either end of the extension. Looking towards the station end. View back from the roadbridge. View of the forest floor! Looking from the dirt track across to the MoD entrance. The other way with the now empty sidings. Area around the platelayers hut. Lastly for now my favourite pic of the bunch the view over the fence through the trees at the Ludgershall end. That's it for now folks, I'll take some more when I get the trains out to 'test' the layout ready for Tolworth.
