RMweb Gold Sweet pea Posted February 19, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 19, 2019 I’m now starting another micro plank build. This will be themed around diesel refuelling and maintenance. Baseboard size 26” x 5” The build is in 4mm scale with one long length of track, Peco setrack. An embankment either side with a small brook. There will be a small stone wall running along the back of the layout, and a variety of lineside items scattered around the layout.

noctilux2 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 You might like to know that your baseboard size will fit very nicely into a Really Useful Box wrapping storage box. I’ve done a couple of layouts in these, see threads for “Dead End” and Kidmore Boxed”. The max size for these is 28 x 8” allowing room for fingers ! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Sweet pea Posted February 19, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 19, 2019 Hi noctilux2 thanks for your comments. The reason why I started this build is because it will fit into a wrapping paper box and will be great to store this layout safely. I will look at your builds this evening.

RMweb Gold Sweet pea Posted February 20, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 20, 2019 Thanks Jerry. I will be concentrating on the back wall and small brook area tomorrow. Next week I will be purchasing the Refuelling point. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Sweet pea Posted February 21, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 21, 2019 Some progress today one the Refuelling point layout. The stone wall has been painted aswell as the coping stones, the wall needs weathering once dried. The brook area is taking shape using cardboard retainers and strips of paper mache. Once dried the plaster will be applied before painting commences. Here is a photo of my progress. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Sweet pea Posted February 22, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 22, 2019 Hi managed to weather the stone wall at the back of the layout and grass scatter applied. The partially dried up steam is taking shape with the small stones taken from the garden. The sides of the banks will be grassed and planted with a few reeds. Here is a photo of my progress. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
