RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted September 15, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 15, 2020 Thanks everyone - the layout has a new home. I think the new owner will take it to exhibitions but I'll leave it to him to post any more! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc smith Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) The new owner has a cracking little new layout there, and I hope he is very pleased with it... I'm sure that'll be the case PS @Gilbert - if you fancy moving your other layout on.... Edited September 22, 2020 by marc smith 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne 37901 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Hi Chris, As Marc says I'm sure the new owner will get a great deal of enjoyment out of Dock Street. PS Me and Marc don't live far from each other so a bidding war may ensue if you decide to move the other layout on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted September 22, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) Thanks Wayne In view of the change of operator we've had a few engineering trains at Dock Street over the last week or so I've just got some bits for a Dock Street replacement - under the circumstances it may be "Lock Street"....going back to Peco "Old style" Code 75 for a slightly more compact track layout in an urban setting. Penmaenbach is to all intents complete. I finished the new signal box last night. In the mean time my Lockdown project has been completed - Lockdown Fen - a Scale Model Scenery "RUB" layout Edited September 22, 2020 by Gilbert 11 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are you getting all this time for modelling? Don't tell me - It'll only make me jealous! lol Somehow, I found time to build 4 layouts, and start a fifth - all within a two year period... somehow ha ha Alas, that was some years back now - perhaps I felt younger then? Looking forward to seeing this one progress too @Gilbert Although it'll probably be finished by the time I've typed this reply 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to seeing this one progress too @Gilbert Although it'll probably be finished by the time I've typed this reply Marc- sadly all I've done is paint a (plain) backscene and start a bit of wiring...the plan is to assemble as many bits as possible before the big push rather than do little jobs along the way.. I have however been experimenting with card for structures though...a trial build of some downloaded Scalescenes retaining wall..

RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted October 14, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 14, 2020 I must start a new thread in case the new owner of Dock Street decides to update us ....under the circumstances my new one may be "Lock Street".......sorry.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sb67 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I'm liking the look of build so far. Can you share what the layout will be, will it using your blue diesels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted October 14, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 14, 2020 Planned to be a straight replacement for DSS stockwise but in an urban setting with some shorter NPCS stuff available as well. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sb67 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) Ok, thanks Gilbert. As I'm trying to plan a similar style of layout myself, without success at the moment, I will look forward to seeing this Edited October 14, 2020 by sb67 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne 37901 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Looks an interesting project Chris. Like @marc smith said I'm impressed where you find the time. I've just started planning the rebuild of my steelworks layout, but time seems to fly by and when I look at what progress I've made it doesn't look like much. I do have a week off coming up though so I've set myself a deadline of cutting the first timber then. Cheers 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted October 20, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 20, 2020 New layout is at the testing stage....don't read too much into the 50 - it was on the workbench having new steps fitted... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not really posted much on Lockdown Fen ......I must get round to it...quite a bit of weathering required.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
