sb67 Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 Hi Steve, apologies for late reply, this pic shows the track plan for 'Shelfie' https://albionyard.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/img_1188.jpg There is also a bit on it in next months Hornby Mag too brgds Thanks for that. Seeing it like that really highlights how effective the scenery and backscene are. It looks really small in that photo! Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PMP Posted January 30, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 30, 2017 For the scenery is was a bit too tight, so I added three inches depth to the back of the board, and another three at the head shunt end. Whilst that added to the head shunt, the underlying reason was to add scenic space. Rgds 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sb67 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Great video, thanks for posting that. I'm a big fan of his stuff and it was good to see brew street in detail. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the plan and I'm looking at how I could use the same plan but a different setting. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PMP Posted January 31, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 31, 2017 Chris' video is excellent, well worth watching! What setting do you have in mind Steve? Paul Lunn and I used the track plan/footprint to do a couple of variations of it, we may have something you can use for further cogitation..

sb67 Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 I've a few ideas but was mainly looking at an urban/suburban setting, mainly using small shunting locos but the occasional mainline visitor, trying not to be too specific about the era or location. I like that about your model, I've seen pics with steam and diesels and none look out of place. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johna Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 A bit late but........ I did start to build my version of "Brew Street" and even had a couple of engine running up and down it. However this didn't last too long as there was only a small number of moves you could make without getting board. The layout was put way and forgotten about until this afternoon while looking l for a set of points . I don't want to alter the size of the layout but do you think adding a sector plater would help improve the movement of wagons around the layout? I suppose what I am asking is what side of the layout would you add a sector plate and what type should I use? Regards Johna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Corbs Posted February 24, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 24, 2018 I think Chris had the same thought as he extended Brew St Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Johna I guess the only place I look at a sector plate would be, looking at the overhead view in the first post, on the right hand side to make a run round loop although it would only be a small one.

Milano Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I also looked at the track plan but couldn't figure out what sort of movement you could get using the current track plan. Shame really as its a compact layout Milano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I know I’m resuscitating this thread after over two years but with not much else on, I had a flick through volume 7 of ‘How to Build a Model Railway’ at the weekend. I saw Brew Street, and I’ve been well and truly bitten by the micro layout bug! There’s a few boards in the garage that aren’t doing anything else, so I might see what I can do with a small baseboard, existing stock, some spare Peco code 75 and a vivid imagination... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted March 31, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) Have a look at Chris Nevard's blog.....loads of inspiration and he does tend to detail his builds rather well.

Liam Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 That’s strange Rob, my photos seem to have ended up in your post! I do notice however that Chris Nevard expanded Brew Street to accommodate the water features. Another one I liked was Brewhouse Quay - you could practically smell the hops and hear the water gushing against the quayside... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am technically inept and would put this down to a sausage hoof in the wrong place. I can't be bothered amending it now..... Rob. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
