I enjoyed seeing Orchard Road in the flesh today.  Lots and lots of great detail - I particularly liked the roller shutter door on the shed and the red metal cages sen in the first photo.

 

Thanks

Thanks Jeff.

 

I need to make sone more roller doors for another project and will try and document how they are made.

The baskets are PH Designs etch kits. I'm currently making some more for the other project.

A week and half to go before Orchard Road will be at the Barnstaple Show (Sat 30th July).

 

Will be the first time to run a couple of my recent sound fitted locos.

 

A couple of small jobs to get done on the layout over the week as layout not been out for a few months.

After being down with you at Barnytubby show for the past two years this year will seem strangely quiet after a lack of SW pilgrimage.

 

Who have you booked for your Saturday evening entertainment this year.

Yes will seem strange without you, although John did talk about coming down for the weekend. If so, that's the entertainment sorted, if not perhaps our club chairman can step up. He doesn't come on RMweb so will be a surprise when we tell him!

A few photos taken today. Will need to get the layout packed up in the next couple of days in readiness for Barnstaple show on Saturday.

 

Firstly, a time machine to bring the class 16 forward a few years!

It's been a while since I've unpacked Orchard Road, but have started on a major upgrade this weekend - more to be revealed when finished. I'll be taking OR to RailEX in Taunton in October and looking forward to getting out again with OR.

 

I have also added a few sleepers and pallets from Scale Model Scenary. Suitably weathered they look great. I also have a set of their shelves to make up, but not sure if will use them on OR.

 

Anyway a few photos taken on my phone.

With about two and half weeks to go before Orchard Road will be at RailEX Taunton, I have two major changes planned. The first is well underway and will be completed. The second will be done in two phases and the first should be all done in time......

 

As to what these are, you will have to wait!

 

Oh, no significant changes to the scene or locos though, apart for speaker upgrades to two locos which I hope to get done soon.

Less than two weeks until RailEx Taunton.

 

A taster....

Also thinking about some new lights to illuminate the layout, but not sure what to look at......

Might be something else to get done before Taunton.....
