Dave I can certainly understand why you are excited about the last building, your depot is a master piece. The fun you will have in the future is enough to excite any modeller!

The first shot of the 27 just poking its front out of the shed is pure class!

This to me shows just how well, or rather how brilliantly you have recreated Haymarket depot on Waverley West

Will your main shed have the walk ways inside? I presume that this photo was taken inside the main shed.

You can just see the ends of the inspection platforms in the photo below:

They look of similar design to those at Toton

 

This surely has to be your next project after the depot!

Lots of photos here which will no doubt be of interest:

Loving watching the progress of WW - better here than in any of the mags, as we get real time updates.  I agree that the photos are very atmospheric and incredibly realistic.  Now then, to get this truly a "just like the real thing" layout, all we need is to rebuild the whole thing in P4 :tease: :devil:

Incredible modelling Dave, the photo opportunities your depot is going to provide is mouth watering!!! You must be over the moon.

 

Loving the latest shots, especially the Large Logo 47 and the final shot, stunning Sir.

 

Thanks for the motivation Dave, seeing your recent progress have inspired me to get on with my project this week. I am now wondering if I should have planned to have lighting inside my depot!

Great Modelling Dave.

The latest pics are great, I really like the forth one down. It reminds me of seeing loco's on shed and not being able to get all the numbers, I might need that class 26 for sight as I didn't clear them.

 

Cheers Peter.

Hi folks,

 

Lots more detailing to do yet, but some scenes are beginning to emerge on the fledgling depot...

That door could do with opening a bit more!

I have also cut both sides of the last shed.

More updates to follow soon I hope.

 

Cheers

.....managed to "interfere" in a similar scenario involving a hangar door and a forklift a while back - yes it needs to go up an inch or two :D

I shall ignore that remark, Stewart.  :jester:

Pleased to see that you've taken my quip in the right spirit Dave - I never could quite get my head round P4 with all its ultra fine standards and all the compensated bogies and things, and I was introduced to it at an exhibition in London in the early 1970s.  at a time when I was still messing with Super 4.

Stunning work Dave. Saw the article in BRM and then found the thread here.  Absolutely fantastic.  I remember your Waverley West MK1 which featured in MR (I think) some years ago.  The new article and pics on the thread are awe inspiring.  Keep up the great work!

Hi Dave,

 

You really need to stop posting pics of the real thing on your thread, it's getting confusing  :mosking:

 

That photo of the 20 just poking out of the shed is just outstanding... wow!!!

 

Cheers

Lee

Blimey Dave, you will have your depot finished by the end of the week! And what a cracking depot it will be.

 

Saving the best to last, what a lovely piece of modelling. It really is coming together now, great work.

 

I might have to model Eastfield next after seeing what you have done!
