SIMBA1OFF Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Hi Nice to see a simple layout that's full of atmosphere. The attention to detail is great and I do like the weathered look to the rolling stock. Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirty2a Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Well done sir, a fine and inspirational small O Gauge layout. Love it. Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010  Just finishing off around the level crossing so the layout is almost finished. The little shed at the back needs another coat of grey as it looks a bit blue in the photos but looks grey to the naked eye. the big puddle by the signal cabin still has wet PVA around it so it looks a bit light still but all in all I am pleased with the final result. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold bcnPete Posted August 8, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 8, 2010 Just found this...very inspiring...especially when I stumbled upon the 47 and china clays...excellent. Are the clay hoods Skytrex? I have one with the Tarp erected - did you flatten these yourself or am I missing something? A few more photos with that 47 would be most welcome Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one with the Tarp erected - did you flatten these yourself or am I missing something? A few more photos with that 47 would be most welcome Pete Hi Pete, Yes the China Clays are Skytrex, I originally had the hoods but I was told by my Club mates that they didn't come out until about 1970 so were the wrong period for my Pannier. I swapped them for the earlier ones, As I now have the 47 and also an 03 that I have just painted in blue with yellow ends I should have kept the hoods. Thanks for your nice comments I don't have any more pic's of the 47 yet but when I have finished detailing and weathering the 03 I will post some more. Maybe I should get a 50?????

BlackRat Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 16 tonners looking good there! have you tried gluing a little Woodland Scenics clump foliage or foliage clusters to the trees painted on the back scene? You only need a small amount but it gives the backscene added 'depth'. Works for me in 00 so may be even better/worse in 0! I'll have to make a start here now on my 0 layout!

cromptonnut Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 What trackwork have you used please? If I can achieve half as good a result with my first foray into O gauge I shall be happy! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinW Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Hi Andrew, Have to say the layout looks better with the tank engines rather than diesels, can just imagine the pannier or even Beattie well tank pottering around shunting the wagons.

Hi Cromptonnut, I have used standard Peco track and points but on the main part I have cut out the webbing underneath and removed some sleepers to space them out a bit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Redgate Models, I'm in South Derbyshire, O gauge is a lot cheaper than I expected if you build a small layout and I build most of my own wagons although I haven't tried a brass kit yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Redgate Well thanks for the offer, I am having the layout photographed soon by Railway Modeller and I have someone interested in buying it but if the sale falls through I would be very interested. If I do sell it I will build something else by next March anyway possibly using my blue 03, 47 and an 08. I also have my OO layout Glen Roy which may be available. Thanks Andy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBill Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Neat set up Andrew. This is my first post on RMweb. You've inspired my next small layout project. I really like your modeling style and track plan. Here's an example of some of my work. I'll post my new plan as influenced by St. Budoc if you're interested. Regards, -Bill 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwrman Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Very impressive layout there, I'm a O gauger myself and admire your constraint for keeping it to 9', at our club we started at 8' decided to add 4' but now we're now adding another 4'.(at the moment) Nigel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
