RMweb Premium Popular Post Sasquatch Posted October 6, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) Apologies for the wait. In no particular order some un-edited images of the layout and some trains. B1 tackling the gradient over the viaduct with a mixed goods. Black A4 waiting for the all clear to depart Goathland with an up freight. A2 A.H.Peppercorn headed in the opposite direction takes on water after the climb. The farm at Queensbury. J39 departing for Bradford in the early morning sunshine. I've got some more unbuilt Kirk coach kits and am very much looking forward to building them. Regards Squatch.

RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted October 7, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 7, 2022 To arouse the mojo, a little structure modeling has been attempted. Shaun's farmhouse was made over 19 years ago in half relief. (I didn't bother modeling the back). Now it's going to have a new home I knuckled down and got on with it this afternoon. Nothing special, it's a foamboard box clad in Plastruct stone sheet. Having a tub of scrap off cuts enough bits were found and taped together. The downstairs windows cut out and the section marked out on the back of the building with a sharp knife. I then carefully cut out the window openings in the house and stuck the plastic walling on. This evening the paint has been applied. (No doubt by now you are familiar with my technique.) Here's a couple more images of the layout I neglected to include last time... Abbey Castle Get around better, get a Lambretta. Black & decker Black & decker Black & decker Black & decker 🤣 13 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
csiedmo Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 The stonework is looking spot on. Is the farmhouse on the Goathland layout? A tiled roof would be a bit poncy for West Riding tastes. Cheers, Ed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're just going to have to live with it for the time being as modeling time and funds are rare things of late. Truth is I don't have the space to fit in the two actual structures that occupy that site. The scene is much changed today, with tall pylons and the owners of the farm have installed a new driveway. The little stable building also seems to have gone. Regards Shaun. Correction. The stable building has a new roof. Looking up Brow Lane towards the old rail bridge over the Qeensbury-Keighley line.

csiedmo Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Aw man, I didn't mean to put a downer on things. You can always imagine that the owners got some roofers to travel over from the middle east (York). Take care, Ed 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's funny you should say that mate. This one has been on my wish list for 10 years at least. Preserved class4MT 80135, a resident engine of the NYMR. Riddles Class 4MT tank are a favorite of mine, mainly because these were the last steam engines to use my local station of Falmer. When the steam had well and truly gone from Brighton, these engines had to bring the Cuckoo Line stock from Eastbourne to Brighton for cleaning. The only steam engines to run on the Brighton to Lewes line in my lifetime! I'm just too young to remember It. Incidentally I'm only 56 (today🥳) and 80135 was my birthday present. Here she is at home on Goathland's Ellerbeck rail bridge. Regards Shaun 10 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stumbled across footprints near Lost Creek Lake. Needless to say, we have never felt like going back there. Turns out that the Prospect area has the most bigfoot sightings in the state. After sending the pictures to the Bigfoot field researchers' organization a professor called me who also explained that over 60 people have disappeared there over the years!

RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted October 9, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 9, 2022 Big day today. First my friend down the road (the one who built the wood mill) isn't well. Type 2 diabetes, luckily he knows me so we're starting him on the low carb-Mediterranean diet. He came to me yesterday after visiting In-And-Out Burger (one of the sources of the Type 2 epidemic) not feeling well and very thirsty. He's a single guy with no idea what a Mediterranean diet is. This afternoon I have a visitor. Boxerbayrailway of this parish is coming by for a visit. If you haven't checked out his wonderful thread yet...WHY NOT??? Hope that you're all having a great weekend too. Regards Shaun. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steaming_chris Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 This may have been asked before, the construction of “foam board clad in Plastruct stone sheet”, what type of glue do you use? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PVA or wood glue should work! It helps if the back of the plastic is roughed up a little with course sandpaper!! Better still is this, a very thick PVA white glue sticks about almost anything to anything else ... Everyday wood filler is worth investing in too. Easy for filling in the edges of the window cutouts and joins in the plastic sheets. I keep a damp piece of paper kitchen towel on hand for clean up before it dries! I use Peco track pins to hold the joints in the foam board while the glue dries. (everything has it's uses, even Peco track pins!!) Happy modeling Regards Shaun Edited October 9, 2022 by Sasquatch 4 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
