Reeuse ( Now for Sale )


Recommended Posts

Thanks Jinty50.

 

The figure is part of a range of figures ( Can't remember which ) and they are not bad when painted up.

 

Penelope is the first passenger on the layout and she's off to a dance in the next town. 

 

Back to building layout, I have been busy making trees for behind the station and signal box section,  will post photos when they are added to the layout.

Hi Everyone. 

 

I have been working on the back of the layout and made a small embankment and laid some cardboard down behind the station to raise hight so I can add vegetation etc.

 

Here are a few photos:

Embankment and grass behind signal box.

 

I wish  i had made the embankment slightly taller but never mind.

A few more figures added,  some need painting.

Next is finishing off area behind station and then planting trees. 

 

More soon.

Hi Jerry, Don't worry about the embankment,  make the trees that are going on there a little bit taller and add undergrowth  and this will increase the visual height volume, you'll hardly notice the low embankment.  Keep up the good work, Kind regards Paul

Thanks Everyone for replies. 

 

Paul, I have done that and it looks good so thanks for that. 

 

Engine lane, your layout looks great and I too reuse things as prices in the model shops are getting expensive. 

 

I'm going to add some undergrowth to the embankment too.

 

Here's a quick photo:

Hi Everyone. 

 

I have added some undergrowth to the embankment and behind the station,  thinking of adding some furry friends to the wooded area,  we will see.

 

I will post a photo later.

Hi Everyone. 

 

I have been busy painting some figures and adding a bit more hedging around the station, here are a few photos:

Some more figures. 

 

I'm going to add one or two more figures and that be it for platform figures,  I will then add platform lights, trolley,  luggage etc.

 

More soon.

Hi Everyone.

 

I have been unable to do anything to the layout due to the current situation regarding coronavirus as I have two venerable people in my family. 

 

I will update when I can. 

 

Stay safe everyone.

Hi Everyone. 

 

The last few weeks have been difficult,  current situation does not help so I'm just taking each day as it comes. 

 

Hopefully next week I should be able to get a bit of modelling done,  nothing has been done since the last update apart from a tree added. 

 

Stay safe Everyone.

Thanks to Everyone who has left kind words and likes etc, very much appreciated. 

 

Last night I managed a bit of work around the goods area of the layout. 

 

I put in a wooden fence around the left hand side of the provender store, added some weeds etc.

 

Here are a couple of photos:

I have a few more little jobs to do on the layout so hopefully tonight I can get some done. 

 

More soon and stay safe Everyone.

Hi Everyone. 

 

This evening I concentrated on the right hand side of the layout and put in a garden, hedges, tree, fence, car, figure etc.

 

Here is a couple of photos of this evening's work:

 

IMG_13042020_191147_(1800_x_1200_pixel).jpg.e1e6f4caf30eda6f62aff5bdf5f08209.jpg

Close up. 

 

I have been thinking about what to do in this area for quite a while and I think it looks ok, going to add some more at a later date. 

 

More soon.

 

Stay safe Everyone.

As others have said it's all looking good; the layout has a nice balance of railway and non-railway scenic space, and the goods yard and cottage are very tidy. Perhaps that large, flat stone wall needs some buttresses and ivy growing up it, to hide the joins and make it a little more interesting?

Thanks Everyone for your replies, 

 

The staff need their toilet roll even if it is Bog standard stuff.

 

The stone wall has been bugging me for a while as I just don't think it looks quite right. 

I have been toying with the idea of a forest type backscene or something similar,  I like the idea of buttress and ivy and will give it some thought.

 

More soon. 

 

Jerry.
