JAMO Posted May 1, 2022 Author Share Posted May 1, 2022 After that, the details can appear... I've collected old advertising from the web and adapted them on a 150 x 100 mm size: photo standard. I printed this composed "photo" with my photo printer on gloss paper to represent enamel signs. A little try on the layout... 12 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-UnitMad Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 That is fantastic!!! I like the subtle detail of the scuffed edge of the steps & porch from people's boots. Amazing stuff, Jack. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMO Posted August 12, 2022 Author Share Posted August 12, 2022 I don't forget my own layout. A general view of the left end of the layout with the completed shop. Meanwhile, the S-2 is idling before the departure 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be coping ok with the heat in the loft but I don't!! 🥵 I understand the problem. Mine and all my layouts are located in the basement. I'm lucky: the temperature is better there than inside the house. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMO Posted October 21, 2022 Author Share Posted October 21, 2022 I think the pumps are too big for this scale. What do you think of this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Northroader Posted October 21, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 21, 2022 Comparing the pumps with the car driver, I think you’re right. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdvle Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) The pumps are fine, albeit strange to modern eyes. The problem is the figure who is too short for a typical adult - his head should be above the roof of the pickup truck. See 9:16 of this video if it doesn't show the relevant image as the thumbnail Edited October 21, 2022 by mdvle 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-UnitMad Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I agree with mdvle - it looks like the figure that's too small. It looks like he (it?) would fit between the track rails, making him a scale 4ft 8 or so tall..!!?? 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMO Posted October 21, 2022 Author Share Posted October 21, 2022 Thank you for your interesting answers and the nice video!!! Yes, that's right: the figure is too small. > It's a 1:50 from Preiser. And the pick-up is 1:43. But looking to the photos, I'm not sure the pick-up is 1:43. Maybe bigger than the good size. This man is 38 mm high. So in 1:48 > 1m82 (tall man) in 1:43 > 1m63 (small man) A comparation with different sizes: at left, the man with a hat is 1:43. At right the shopkeeper (Phoenix figure) is 1:43. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMO Posted October 22, 2022 Author Share Posted October 22, 2022 I suspect the pick-up too big too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMO Posted October 22, 2022 Author Share Posted October 22, 2022 (edited) I've found a video about the Tokheim 850 gas pump. They were tall. There was too models of 850. The largest one is the brown, at left on the photo. The man says: the body is 4ft high so 1219 mm. In 1:48 > 25 mm. My models have 30 mm bodies! 5 mm too high. And certainly a too big diameter. I have to saw them 🥴 ... or to install more modern models at the good scale. Edited October 22, 2022 by JAMO 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMO Posted December 24, 2022 Author Share Posted December 24, 2022 It's time to wish you a Merry Christmas!
