RMweb Gold Andrew D Posted February 18 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 18 Looking good! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - I like this layout immensely 👍 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzer42 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I like your 3d effects with the overlays and careful use of the "scenes" on the backscenes. I agree with Andrew above, it is a lovely layout. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben B Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Substitute a 25 for the Hymek, it would definitely have the feel of a West Mids backwater in the late 1970's early 1980's :) Mindyou, the shot you posted recently with the Hymek and 03 put me in mind of the preserved East Lancs around Bury, so even with a small layout you're able to have a wide variety of possible settings! I'm so glad you're posting again, I really like this layout; shows you can have a fun, characterful continuous-run 00 layout in a tight space :) 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did wonder if the Hornby 110 DMU would run round these curves, looks like the answer is yes! Don't suppose you've tried one of the new Hornby Terriers round there? The old ones are fine, nice deep flanges and lots of sideplay, but the new versions look like they might be a bit fussier. hi sleepyrider, a bit late replying but can confirm a terrier goes round fine! it is an older model also not the newer one. but a nice little addition Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepyrider Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Thanks for that. In the meantime I'd taken a punt on a new one, the IWCR train pack. I'm happy (relieved!) to say the whole set runs on these Fleischman 250mm, around 10 inch, radius curves. The Terrier's fine, the coaches groan a little but are ok. 10 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re the four wheel coaches, one big advantage is that they look far better on the curves than bogie stock 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc smith Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I hadn't looked at this thread until just this morning - and I'm so glad I did. The layout is looking great. You've got such a lot going on, in a small area, and your use of buildings, blended with backscene and other details really sets the layout off nicely. Looking better all the time :) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were planned for the previous layout but may stay on here. the whol earea infront of the station will be entrance to station and car park.

RailwayLacky Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 Small update! I’ve been putting this off for a long time but am now adding the paving slab by slab. I have also modified my class 43 hst and 110 dmu with txs sound, will sort a video soon! 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailwayLacky Posted April 7 Author Share Posted April 7 Finally finished the butchers shop awning, another job I was putting off! A bit rough with painting but I can weather those bits out perhaps 9 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailwayLacky Posted April 20 Author Share Posted April 20 (edited) Small update! mainly because i started another layout!! see sig for details! Still weighing up the factory end. in the 2nd image below, i like the look of the "Frys" and "Importers" buildings, but with a low relief factory Infront? not sure. what do you all think? 🤔 pavement laid all the way across the layout now. parking space provided for the accountant, park their at your peril! so the goods shed has been replaced with this one, the Wills craftsmen shed, a step before scratch building they say, quite an enjoyable build. this one is a little more modern than the last and in keeping with the 60's 70's era of this layout. The old goods shed is now on my new shelf layout, Westwells Halt. Edited April 20 by RailwayLacky 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailwayLacky Posted 6 hours ago Author Share Posted 6 hours ago (edited) Big updates over the weekend! Managed to finish the path slabs (took ages!) painted and positioned the rest of the railings along the paths. Flocked the embankment added some greenery and gave the road a repaint with a lighter grey. Also painted the surrounding walls for the factory area, just weathering them up now. will hopefully get some shots tomorrow with everything back in place when the paint has dried.
