Andrew P Posted May 29, 2018 Author Share Posted May 29, 2018 Another great set of photos Andy and, if you are enjoying running the layout so much, perhaps KM will have a much longer life in TOPS. I do think the Black 5 needs liberating from the shed for a steam special. Thanks Andy, I may just do that with the Black 5, but yes, the Play value of KM is keeping me going for a while at least. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted May 29, 2018 Author Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) O.K. Changed cameras back to the Fuji, with elastic bands holding the Batteries in place, think I might try and pick up another with a good body, I'll have a look on Flea Bay later.

It's probably occupied by some blameless retired couple who bought hoping to spend their twilight years listening to the melodic simmering of steam trundling by, no doubt accompanied by a friendly wave from the salt of the earth driver and fireman, then overnight those blue things suddenly appear with their choking fumes. Ireally think that steamer should come out of the shed on a few specials if only to make those kindly old folk very happy Good pictures though. One might almost say the Ivo Peters of the diesel era !

Andrew P Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share Posted May 30, 2018 That sounds like my kind of pub ! Yeah, I agree, but at the moment it looks CLOSED, with no benches or patrons outside. Another job to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share Posted May 30, 2018 (edited) Well would you Adam and Eve it, after Months of procastination, a start has been made on Kings Moreton Station, and the surrounding area. Firstly I found my Paints, just water based. Masked up the Platform edges and made a start. The reasons for the different colouring will become apparent later. Then the masking tape was removed. Then a basic test was re done again. Next some foam was cut and added, and covered in PVA and Flock And some Fencing, Buildings and Vehicles, (these will be changed to the correct period ones soon) Edited May 30, 2018 by Andrew P 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNP Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 That looks better. A few more finishing tweaks and then the area will look great. Just one question - what is happening with the 'gap in the sky'...? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one question - what is happening with the 'gap in the sky'...? Cheers Kevin, I've got to get some more modern Lamp Post's, I have some of the signage ready, along with some Platform furniture. The bit of Sky fell down the back, and I need to reach the coner to retrieve it, but forgot it earlier, it was held in place with Black Tac, so obviously needs a 4 inch nail now, Edited May 30, 2018 by Andrew P 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share Posted May 30, 2018 (edited) And just a little more done this afternoon. One job was to swap the Station Building and Parcels Office around. I've also instigated a ''T'' Junction. Remember the Foam covered in PVA! The Red Fence is temporary. Edited May 30, 2018 by Andrew P 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted May 30, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 30, 2018 Hi Andy Are you popping up to Burton over the weekend. Only asking because Mick is there with his Yella Layout. I am playing with three links again but a different train set. And you still owe me a cuppa and cake that you said you would buy me at Derby. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
