Adamphillip Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) starting a new 'small' london layout meant for 4-6 car DMUs and small loco hauled trains, the entire station will be under an over all roof Edited November 9, 2018 by Adamphillip 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddy water Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Hi!Great to see another layout being started. Is it going to be a terminal or through station? Be interesting if you are going to make the Overground EMUs or is it an earlier period? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamphillip Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 it's going to be a through station with cassette fiddle yards at each end, I'm going to be building retaining walls all around the outside with little view windows at tack level so you look through the arches Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamphillip Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 decided on stock now as it'll mainly be class 90's and 92's for loco hauled and 350's for EMUs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamphillip Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 quick update.. .text only for now.... track has been laid and the platform areas have been marked, just got to get some flexable platform sides, still debating whether to have a looping layout and build a bit more to the left hand side or just making it end to end Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamphillip Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) MOAR PICTURES as you can see I've found some wood for one or two of the platforms that will then be clad with scale scenes platform kits and here is just an overall view of the station, there will be a road over bridge on the left hand side to allow for the layout to be extended or for changes to be made to the running configuration and with covering Edited December 3, 2015 by Adamphillip 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamphillip Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) 2 more boards on their way as this station is becoming an amalgamation of Moorgate and the Barbican with Moorgate crossrail that will cross the main tracks on a over head line, lower lines will be 3rd and 4th rail top lines will be overhead electrics... though I'm not 100% sure Edited December 21, 2015 by Adamphillip Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
'CHARD Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 2 more boards on their way as this station is becoming an amalgamation of Moorgate and the barbarian with Moorgate crossrail that will cross the main tracks on a over head line, lower lines will be 3rd and 4th rail top lines will be overhead electrics The barbarian?

Adamphillip Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 Right some actual updates now as my layout is in my office so I can get on with it ^just did this photo for some fun^ ^An idea as to where the retaining walls will go^ ^the main road bridge at the end of the layout^ ^^these 2 are the over all view and the one with black lines on it shows where the retaining walls will roughly be^^ 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamphillip Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) and another update for you guys, rear platform is in with retaining walls, now to just get the girder bridges in now just to get a new DCC system, I'm thinking about a Z21 [full system or starter I'm not decided on] I also need a modern london themed back scene Edited March 13, 2017 by Adamphillip 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamphillip Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) so I'm home from my holiday and I've decided the station will be pilot release for trains and an 08 or one of those Hornby TTS class 20s will be the pilot loco as I already have one, the next thing to do is build the 2 other boards, one final scenic board and the cassette fiddle yard Edited March 21, 2017 by Adamphillip 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamphillip Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) something looks a bit off in this photo..... can't quite put my finger on it oh it's mk1's behind a class 92 thats what Kadees fitted and working, though I need to use a barrier wagon for my 09 if I want to use it as a station pilot anyway work is progressing but I still need to build that elusive 2nd scenic board and fiddle yard Edited March 22, 2017 by Adamphillip 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamphillip Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 track plan has been reworked so that I can use knightwing kits for all the platforms Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamphillip Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 I'm still here, been busy with work to pay for all my models, anyway, materials for the fiddle yard have arrived so going to be building that soon along with a 3-4ft scenic addition to the station area, also trying to work out how to make modern modular station platforms 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamphillip Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 so with the layout now is full swing here's some updated photos, platforms aren't affixed yet, and still need to build the next section of the station and possibly a scenic exit for the scene and hopefully you can all see these photos 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamphillip Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 so I've finally worked out a name, the station is now called London Undergate and have printed out appropriate signs for it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamphillip Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) so went into trains 4U today and got some stuff for the bridge at the entrance to the layout I'm also experimenting with using Wills sheet material and Peco platform sides Edited September 27, 2017 by Adamphillip Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamphillip Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 Well the platform experiment didn't go too well, it ended up a wee mess, so I'm using kits. Also in other news, I've decided to experiment with building the layout on a live stream every Monday on Twitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
