Enthusiasm for my little layout, party inspired by yours, also vanished into thin air a while back. Thankfully though, it's been hovering around a bit recently, so I'm expecting it to land again quite soon. Looking forward to your updates on this great little layout in due course 👍 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben B Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I was thinking about this layout only the other day, I'd been following it with interest! Glad to see it back on here :) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Andrew D Posted January 28 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 28 I’m another fan of this layout who is glad that you have your mojo back. Mine disappeared for over a year but it’s also meandering its way back. Looking forward to more updates and videos 👍 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RailwayLacky Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 (edited) i hate to say it but i've removed the Metcalfe buildings 🙃 they seem HO size on this layout, swapped them back for Bachmann ones, costly but still trying to find the required look, i had previously sold all of the Bachmann buildings!!! not to but some back 🥴 currently playing with backdrops, ill put a blue sky all over then add cut out street scenes, seen some do this to great effect and enjoying all the different looks i can acheive. this pub is the best model ive had yet from Bachmann yet!

Dunalastair Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Ouch - that does seem pricey - but the 'frosted glass' patterned windows look well. Overall, it seems to have more 'presence' than card kits, which I guess it what you were after. I wonder why Bachmann chose to use an 'Inn Business' branding rather than a more traditional brewery? I guess it makes it less geographically specific, but does seem to set the establishment in a specific time frame, perhaps a little later than your layout. Were there alternative signs provided? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were there alternative signs provided? no i don't think so, will have to check the box! the era is very loose on this layout, mainly 60's to 80's depends what trains i'm running! its more just a train set with all the things i like on it :) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailwayLacky Posted February 5 Author Share Posted February 5 (edited) so i bought this butchers shop off Ebay with completely missing awning? :) I'm currently creating a new one out of plasticard, wish me luck! (i also need a new cutting board i know!!!) :) the aim! Edited February 5 by RailwayLacky 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Little Jeeem Posted February 6 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 6 Good luck! Not that you really need it, as the awning seems to be coming along very nicely. Although if it's already fixed in place, painting maybe a bit of a challenge? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just mocked up there, will definitely have to paint it off :) i have some fine masking tape somewhere masking with a thin coat of lacquer will stop the paint running, that's the plan anyway! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RailwayLacky Posted February 8 Author Share Posted February 8 (edited) still working on the Butchers shop, but in the meantime i have got all 3 cars on an old 110 DMU running happily around. some dremel work was needed on the bogies to maximise the rotation.

RailwayLacky Posted February 11 Author Share Posted February 11 (edited) still weighing things up. today i applied the background (peco) ive been putting it off for ages i used the backscene adhesive too, cost a pretty penny but im not a fan of the outcome. i should have just got some sky blue paint really :) ill come back to this, its nice to have some sort of background at last, even if this one wont stay, OK for now Moving things about, trying to get a look, pretty sure i am set on the building placement now. i need to sort the paving out too. whats there now is being used as a template to have another go with the Metcalfe paving kit.

Hibelroad Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Great work, I'm really enjoying this layout and I like the way you are prepared to change things around in order to make improvements. For such a small layout it has many inspirational view points and is a great reminder that railway modelling is supposed to be fun. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailwayLacky Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 (edited) Very simalar images I know but with differing backdrops, I’ve cut that back scene to shreds 🤣 Edited February 18 by RailwayLacky 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
