Andrew P Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 This morning I've fitted the Vents on the Warehouses and also re done the front with some Greenery and the embankment under the Road. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Bogie Posted September 25, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 25, 2015 I am new to this and know that people in glass houses should not throw stones but really those curtains in the background are hideous! I prefer the mess on the floor. Otherwise looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modelling Martin Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Hi Andy, Layout looks really good especially the water puddles (I've only just caught up with the thread). Interesting choice of stone walling on the bridge considering your urban theme but whatever floats your boat, Kind regards, Gary Ps I quite like the curtains gives the room some character (I didn't think curtains could provoke such strong reactions!)

That's a very good point about the walling Martin, I may re visit that at a later date but your probably right. I agree about the curtains, hahahhah.

georgeT Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) The grey looks much better mate, like the additions to the warehouse... Edited September 26, 2015 by georgeT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 Thanks Mate, I've had a really good running session this evening with the Blue Stock, whilst looking across at Pencarne and planning the next bit on there. I actually saw the embankment above the Pub wasn't right so I paused the operating on here for half an hour and did that bit on Pencarne. I just need to finish off the Road Bridge and then add clutter like old Rail, Sleepers, Pallets and Oil Drums etc. around the Yard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Bogie Posted September 26, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 26, 2015 I have no right to comment on another person's modelling ability (as mine is not very good) but I am very sensitive about interior decorating and I really do defy any rational person to defend the curtains as seen in post #203. What character are you trying to convey with those curtains? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What character are you trying to convey with those curtains? The problem is that interior design is subjective. One person likes a fully white box for a house with hardly anything in and windows for walls meanwhile someone loves the style of a Manor house with an object in every nook and cranny. Consequently there is no such definition of 'style' so what you may perceive as hideous someone may find tasteful. I have my personal views on design but would not force them upon anyone, Anyway lets get back to talking about the interior of the engine shed rather than Andy's house, Kind regards, Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogie, Let me explain, its a SHED, its Double Glazed, It has Net Curtains for ADDED SECURITY and the Layout is PORTABLE, so that's the end of the discussion so THANKS JASON AND CLIVE for your input. Now, I've been very busy on Pencarne today, so pics on there soon. Edited September 26, 2015 by Andrew P 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Alex TM Posted September 26, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 26, 2015 Hi Andy, In light of the comments about curtains I feel I had to comment that what's great about this layout is its "Martini" approach to modelling - i.e. it could be any time, any place, anywhere, with all of the above dictated by imagination and locomotives. Great work, great layout; keep up the good work. Regards, Alex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Bogie Posted September 27, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 27, 2015 Obviously touched a nerve - did not mean to. My apologies. All I was trying to convey was the only criticism one could have with this layout was the curtains - which when you think about it is not a criticism of the layout at all! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tersono Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) Loving this layout - to the point where I'm seriously considering building something similar once I've gotten a bit further with my current N gauge roundy. I've got a bunch of OO stock and nowhere to run it at the moment... Great work, Andy! Gary Edited September 27, 2015 by tersono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) What's all this crap about curtains, it should be all about 'West Shed' and its creation not bleedin' curtains, go to the home shopping web site for curtains...

RMweb Premium Bogie Posted September 29, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 29, 2015 Indeed we do but we are as passionate about curtains as we are about model trains. Some good folks of Queensland are so worried about curtain fading that we do not have daylight saving in summer! Not sure why I got such a reaction - the current discussion about pies on Seaton Junction(ish) and Honiton Incline seems as related to train modelling as - well - curtains. Each to their own as they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why I got such a reaction - the current discussion about pies on Seaton Junction(ish) and Honiton Incline seems as related to train modelling as - well - curtains. Each to their own as they say. There was discussion about Sausages on my Bitton Thread which ended up taking over several pages and putting real modellers off visiting the thread with VALUABLE INFORMATION as when I asked serious questions, they were lost amongst pages of waffle. I would rather not be having discussions about curtains on here PLEASE, If you have thoughts about curtains PLEASE post them on your own Doriston Thread http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/101185-doriston/ therefore leaving West Shed and Pencarne Junction for debate on modelling techniques and information. Thanks. One crackpot waffling on about curtains does not make a discussion. Its like the Bitton Sausage saga all over again, I may NOT be back.

RMweb Premium Bogie Posted September 29, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 29, 2015 Trust me I have learnt my lesson. Ironically I do need to hang curtains or blinds in my train room as the Brisbane morning sun is going to cause some serious fading. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
