It's looking good, you really are enjoying this change of subject aren't you Chas, no more loco building eh.

I really have you to thank for pushing me back into doing something on my layout in the other room,

just another footbridge really but a milestone for me. Oh and thanks for the knobs....

Back now from Model Rail, where we were doing a demonstration this year. Pleased to see people we haven't seen for a while. There was interest shown in what we are currently doing although I did note that Alloa was missed as an exhibit, perhaps next year! One or two  visitors did comment on the possibility of joining the group, so if anyone is interested please PM me  and I will happily supply more detail. (Please check out the club's own website below)

Another irregular update, the roads behind the station beginning to be formed (top centre of the picture and additional buildings added - the weighbridge and the station masters house. All to show that something is happening!

Work has also commenced on the road bridge. The attached luggage bridge will be added later in construction ( I’ve not started it yet). The luggage bridge has a challenge in that there were signals mounted in it, and the completed structure has the challenge of having to be removable as it is across a baseboard join!

More buildings! Another small update on progress are the foundry buildings at the North end of Larbert station, still to be bedded in and weathered. The large shed at the north end, while looking overscale, will contain an overhead crane, and the building is in proportion to the others. Work has slowed in the past couple of weeks due to the group's commitment to taking Alloa to the Wigan show this weekend coming.

Some more photos of progress, the embankments South of the station have been laid ready for "grassing", this was recently completed after the first main run of point rodding had been completed, and this can also be seen in one of the pictures. All the buildings at the North end have been completed to the basic level, needing weathered etc.. Hopefully more work will follow, subject to taking Alloa to the SEC at the end of February.

Just another wee short video featuring a "special"

 

 

Done for the boys at the club, as they know what this means! For everyone else it shows the advancement of the scenic work (which has now progressed further, including the start of work on the station buildings).

Hi Chas, Just came across this thread love it can’t wait to see it when it’s finished, love the video the whole station area looks spot on. The station house is no longer there so it was good to see you have it spot on I did manage to get a brick from the demolition guys when I went to get some pictures of them knocking it down.
