Anything that puts a smile on my face gets my vote. oh Ye… I agree Sometimes with Peter’s work and little Dioramas here and there you have to look twice to take it all in, I guess Jaz / Kal your layout is the same, i'm still watching your 20min YouTube to take extra stuff in that wasn’t there or missed last time I looked.

trains12 Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 Lovely pictures, have you been tweaking the water? It's looking lovely in those pictures. Hi Jaz Not really. We have given it a few coats of varnish and touched up a few areas with oil paint before the last show. One day will get around to using the easy water that we have for it.

trains12 Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 Hi All Here is a shot of the two awards that the layout has won at the last two shows. The wooden one on the Left is from the Peak Model Railway Show at Bakewell and was awarded for the best scenic item on the layout being the boat yard and harbour with the Custom house and warehouse. This was presented by Stevenson Carriages. The one on the left was the award present by the Model Tree Company at the Hartlepool show for the Best Scenic layout in show. In the past 20+ years I have won two awards for my layouts then in 12 months I have won three for Glen Gillie/Loch Inch. I most be doing something right at last.

trains12 Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) Hi all Well guess what I am thinking of a further extension of 16ft to the Loch Inch end of the layout. This would enable me to take it as one big layout of 52ft? or take Loch Inch only out at 36ft. Why has this come about. Well I have started fiddling making a lattice bridge which would look nice across a river coming into a loch. I Know I am mad but I just get these notions in my head for more models. Anyway here are a few shoots of the layout taken at the photo shoot early this year. These are all accredited to MIKE WILD of Hornby Mag who has given his permission to use them. He has taken some brilliant shots and I am indebted to him for allowing them to be used. Peter Ps will post some more later.

Jaz Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Love the friars.love the colouring,all the buildings especially lighthouse and water, very enviable, if I was being picky some of your trees are very windswept.....wish that was the worst someone could say of my layout. Just love your work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
