RMweb Gold russ p Posted October 23, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 23, 2020 Whilst I've not actually got room for a scrapyard, I've got a few gresleys and Mk1 suburbans which could be run as train going to kings. Being late 60s I can just about run trains with stanier and thompson stock in service 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being late 60s I can just about run trains with stanier and thompson stock in service How about a siding (or isolated piece of track) with a non-running steam locomotive with 'help save this steam locomotive for just £3 per month. Just phone 0898...' (or the 1960s equivalent... ) I suggested something similar to that to another modeller- though he replied with a language unfamiliar to me, except the end part which was 'off'. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea Derek, but a bit too late now. The areas of the railway that would be accessible by the public are all taken up now . The far board will be the railway running through open countryside and the other has the depot , marshaling yard and an NCL depot. The room is 35x20ft but its more or less full now 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derekstuart Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 35ft by 20ft? Bloody hell. That's some size of layout. It's looking good from the pictures here. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been buying track for around 15 years so didn't have to make a massive outlay of cash in one go 7 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My plan for Whtby is just under 50 points (I keep losing count) with 180 feet, so 60 yards and I thought that was hard enough. I really rather wish Whitby had been relaid with flat bottom track too- the thought of sliding nearly 11,000 bullhead rail chairs does not fill me with enthusiasm. I think at 200 yards, with 135 points I'd go stark raving mad. Still, with the way C19 keeps being extended maybe we'll all get chance to finish layouts before it ends. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold russ p Posted October 26, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 26, 2020 Most of the track seen will be under cobbles or concrete hence the use of used track The run round neck is only long enough for a drewry or industrial as its fed from the tramway 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold russ p Posted October 31, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 31, 2020 For the factory yard I've used the new stone coloured das clay which seems pretty good . The cobbles were made with a cobble imprinted roller . I've tried this before but the clay shrunk and cracked but this time I've made it thicker and put a layer of PVA underneath it 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold russ p Posted November 2, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 2, 2020 Been using stone das clay with a stone sett roller but unfortunately the clay is all sold out round here so have order some of the works website. Its so much better than the old colours as all you have to do is weather it. I've not done that yet or paint in some tarmac where the roller has missed 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
