My first exhibition is booked in for Sept 2024 and wow so much work to do before then including putting the layout up complete for the first time and building the centre boards with the loading facility on them.  I will aim to post progress pictures as i go

So after persuasion i have started on the loading area for the exhibition.  In the great poetic licensee the layout will be the wrong way round but should be better to see from a public point of view.

Dove Holes Quarry is looking good.

The Dark Far End is something rarely even seen never mind modelled. It should look especially good with the older RMC hoppers under the loader. They will really show off the scale of the structure.

I'm very much enjoying the updates.

Hi Nick,

In your photo of the loader it appears that the conveyer from the main quarry rises fairly steeply towards the quarry. Perhaps this is just a temporary placement?

The real life conveyor rises only a little above the horizontal, and this would obviously be much easier to model/package.

Peak Forest is hard enough already with its sky high yard lamps and the crazy pipe bridge.

 

Cheers, Andy
