Evening all, 

 

Just in from an evening spent in the garage, finally doing some work on the layout due out at Wells. Things didn't go quite to plan as I ended up making a few amendments......Frankly, it's going to be  damn close. 

 

Revised track plan looks more interesting, visually and operationally.

Hi Paul, 

 

It was my intention to build Lamb Regis after I built Mutton. Mutton, as long term readers of this waffle may recall was inspired by Combpyne. 

 

Here's the blurb I used to hand out at shows when I was out with Mutton. 

 

 

 

Great minds, Paul, great minds.

This evening has seen track cut and temporarily laid in place. Bay still needs wiring up and the rest of the clay laying arond the engine shed. 

 

A tidier view than the last. 

 

 

Platform ramp will be cut off. An embankment will be to the right and will follow the bay around.

A few more images. Pretty rubbish but taken to check viewing angles. I do check these things, honest. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm finally starting to get a feel for it.

Looking good Rob.

 

You can certainly see from your snaps you've managed to achieve that sense of space and openness.

 

Nicely done!

 

Cheers,

Hi Mark, 

 

The scenic section is a bit longer ( just over 4'6" ) but narrower by 1cm. I'm struggling to get past this stage to be honest but once I do I'll be a lot happier. The engine shed is probably the largest structure I've used to date on all the layouts. Much agonising over it but I think it works. It also seems to balance with the platform/ buildingsxat the other end.  I'm now torn between adding a few trees as per Ewe or going flat and open. I'll have a better idea once I start on the embankments etc which may be lower than first thought. 

 

As uou can tell, I really am making this up as I go and sadly,  it shows.....but, as I mentioned above, I do feel I'm finally starting to get into it.

Leading on from Mutton's handout, here's the front page from that for Bleat Wharf.
