Clan Mcadder Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 here lies the tale of the fishing town on the east coast of England in a 20ish year time span 1923-1947. Saxthorpe quay is part of the small dockside branch that leads from the terminus at Saxthorpe and winds its way along the sea wall , for about a mile before it reaches the buffer stops . its main traffic flows are fish, fruit and timber . from time too time larger locomotives can be seen using the water crane , waiting for the express freights to be built up and head for the large cities . so enough waffle , saxthorpe quay is a small 5,6" simple shunting layout designed to give a variety of stock a run , now my tastes are a bit strange and varied but one thats always around is Lner/lms now ive messed with these since i was small and rebelling against that colossus bore that's the LMr transition era, (sorry dad). so its Lner from around 1923-1947 with an emphasis on the last 10 years or so . please dont worry 4472 will not be appearing in this film for my 4472 has recently had a change of heart .... please ignore the backscene its destined to change . so i am sorry for the messy images but atm it give a quick idea as to the layout and some of the stock including some of my wagon projects . some Lms may appear too although this one has found its self along way from Stafford ! i hope these give a rough idea , id like to document it from the very start , so planning then baseboard rework and then onto track etc . 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clan Mcadder Posted May 9, 2022 Author Share Posted May 9, 2022 so over the past week ive made some basic progress on the quay , its had a first layer of pva to seal the base , so i can work on the water last without fear of it leaching etc , track is down now and i shall add some pictures later once ive got it all wired etc . hopefully its starting to look like something . 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
