Psiborg Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 The next project I had to do was build the Platform One Medical Practice building. It needed to look like the real building but fit in the space available on the layout without losing too many of the features So I made a start on it by counting how many brick courses high and how many bricks across the 'towers' were and worked from there Psiborg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psiborg Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) Thanks Porkie, here it is on London Road... The canopy part still needed to be built and Shaun (Scooby71) helped me out with parts of it. Here it is after completion... When I was building the layout, Oxford Diecast hadn't released many 'average' modern cars so I had an idea! - use up some of the car park with a charity fundraiser for the Air Ambulance Psiborg Edited July 7, 2017 by Psiborg 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psiborg Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 FEBRUARY 2015 - FIRST EXHIBITION London Road's first outing was in February 2015 when it was appeared at that years Ilkeston Woodside MRC Show at Trowell (near Ilkeston). It is thanks to the Ilkeston Woodside MRC that London Road still exists. After moving house (to one without a garage) I had no room to store it, let alone set it up. IWMRC let me keep it in the clubroom so it could be finished. It is at the club that I met Matt (Heinz57) and Shaun (Scooby71) London Road set up in the clubroom before the show Psiborg 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psiborg Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 APRIL 2015 Earlier in the year London Road was filmed so it could be shown on the BRM cover DVD. It appeared on the cover DVD of the April 2015 issue of BRM as Layout of the Month. It looked quite impressive on the video, unfortunately the same couldn't be said for me!

gismorail Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 The Medical practice building is an amazing piece of model building construction you were right when you said it had to be right as it really sets the layout off. It is amazing that just one building can have such a strong influence on a scene and you can be very proud of the end result ...Excellent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I started it seemed to progress quite quickly and worked out OK without any problems. I only wish i had fitted lighting in it! Psiborg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psiborg Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 GOING GREEN Since the appearance in British Railway Modelling magazine, the 'greenery' has had a major overhaul. Matt (Heinz57) did the majority of it and it makes a huge difference to the finish of the layout! Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
