marsa69 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Just dirty up the windows so you can't see through them. It was a stables after all. I still think we should flog it and start the layout again. But in 7mm this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkyrik Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 hi, just stumbled across your impressive exploits after googling "lincoln central track diagram"....... have rekindled my teenage passion at tender age of 55, and as a lincoln lad all my life, am thinking of doing the same as you but in 2mm. Are you going to be exhibiting your work at any time? Rik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNER4479 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Hi there, Just discovered your project. Despite very different era, interesting to see another layout using Peco trackwork to represent a real location. Looks like the real thing lends itself well to this. The layout at the east end look instantly recognisable. Nice work. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/58826-grantham-the-streamliner-years/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wherry Lines Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Hi John, I've been away from RMWeb for a while and I am impressed by the progress that has been made on the layout. I'm really looking forward to seeing the layout finished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arff999 Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 Thanks Simon Still a long way to go yet,still have all the front stuff to do, just started to construct the stables roof, pics to come soon. BTW hows your layout coming on. JOHN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arff999 Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 Hi Heres a few pictures of the roof as fitted to the stables, i have had to make this in one piece even though the main building spans the board joint, i have to lift off the roof section as a whole then break open the baseboard joint this way when its put up you wont be able to see the joint on the building it seams to work ok I also removed the old square cornered back scene to the high street end and replaced it with a round one for this i used bendable mdf fixed to brackets made from wood fixed to the baseboard. This was then covered in the cloud backscene even though the couds dont quite match up it wont matter as the joint is hiddeen by the Great Northern Hotel when i complete it but i need to finish the stables first Thats all for this update i have a few pics i took to post later.

arff999 Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 Hi This will be i hope the next building for me to have a go at making it goes in the corner to hide the back scene joint next to the level crossing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jonte Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Hi This will be i hope the next building for me to have a go at making it goes in the corner to hide the back scene joint next to the level crossing Now this will be a challenge, John. Incidentally, would anyone happen to know whether the trade supplies strips of the profiled 'beading' common to Georgian style buildings, such as that running between the ground and first floor windows in the top photograph? Evergreen and Plastruct only seem to supply round, channelled or 'H' and 'I' beams apart from the usual lengths of strip. Nothing suitable either from Scale Link. Keep up the good work.

royj Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Morning John, Checked when Pelham Bridge was opened by the Queen it was on 'Friday 27th June 1958, the Queen visited Lincoln to officially open Pelham Bridge. The bridge is one of the main routes south of the City Centre.' So this fits in well with your planned era. I have managed to get to your drawings/photos on RMweb, so when I get my printer sorted will be able to proceed as planned and discussed last night.
