KTM Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hi all, I was not too happy with the end of the platform at the station building end and so I have put in another small piece of fence with a hedge behind and some more shrubs etc on the wall and around the buffers. THE PVA IS STILL WET, THAT'S THE WHITE BITS. Trebudoc Station hedge 001.JPG Andy, I like the treatment at the end of the platform. My plan is do do something similar to this with a building & fence to create an alternative vista allowing viewing along the layout from that end. Your photo's really show off those excellent backscenes but do you also have one for this end? It would be a shame to hide such a view! Jon . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted January 23, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 23, 2013 Looking great Andy. One small comment though - would it be worth adding a few darker / weathering tones to the station building? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAY NORWOOD Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hi Andy I like what you have done at the end of the station. I do agree with Mudmagnet the station and signal box needs a bit more weathering. Keep the pics coming. RAY70B Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jon, No, no backscene on that end, as you say it will be a good photo opertunity especially for movies of trains coming in to the buffers.

Mythocentric Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hi Andy I got to say I love the treatment of the station building. You and George have done a very fine job indeed. Now I must admit to being somewhat worried. As a lifelong L&Y/LMS fan(atic), I suddenly find myself having visions of one of Bachmann's upcoming Dukedog's trundling down a Trebudoc-style branchline somewhere down south in foreign parts. HELP!

There you go then! I recall seeing a wonderful photo (possibly by Eric Treacy) showing a passenger train emerging from a tunnel on the S&D double-headed by an un-rebuilt Merchant Navy with a little Pug in front! Glorious! I don' t know what the crew on the Pug thought about it but I'll bet they did'nt spend too much time looking over thier shoulders. Looks like Theakestone may be relocating again! Also a good excuse for one of Bachmann's 7F's. Regards Old Master Lune Bill (Enlightened Lune) I only hope the LYRS will forgive me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Hi Richard (Mudmagnet) and all the rest of you looking at Trebudoc. Well I have given the buildings another coat of wash to darken it down a bit, I must agree with Richard and Ray Norwood, it does look better. I have also fitted the Station signs, and I ordered my benches etc today and will pick them up at the Stafford Show on the 2nd Feb. I have also now stuck the Station Building down with PVA so that is the white around trhe base of the building. And finally I have moved the fence at the left and put another hedge behind it.

KTM Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 That's a lovely looking station building. Have you made it easily removable for adding the details? I was also intrigued by how short the loco headshunt appears at the end of the platform. I'm struggling with length on mine but yours appears a wee bit shorter than I would have thought you need. Are you intending to run tender engines? Jon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) That's a lovely looking station building. Have you made it easily removable for adding the details? I was also intrigued by how short the loco headshunt appears at the end of the platform. I'm struggling with length on mine but yours appears a wee bit shorter than I would have thought you need. Are you intending to run tender engines? Jon Good Morning Jon, No I do not intend to run any Tender Locos so I have made the head shunt long enough for a Std 4 Tank, As I am also restricted in the fiddle yard this made more sence than trying for a long head shunt, and loosing the run round facility. I can get the Ivatt and one coach or 4 wagons in the f/y and also in the run round loop so the layout is nicely ballaenced for operation. The building has been built solid and so I cant get inside now to add any detail, but I have spent a few hours this week looking at pics of Preserved lines that I and others have taken, and even in closer ones than the 4mm viewing distance we have, you CAN NOT see anything through the glass. As the layout will NEVER be set at night time viewing I do not intend to ilumunate the building. The Signal Box is different though, this will have a light inside and as there is so much glass around you CAN NORMALY see somthing in the Signal Box so that will have detail inside The Car repair workshop is illuminated as it is in the foreground.. Morning Duncan, yes you are right about the platform edging stones, they also need marking out as well as toneing down, now another job for the list. Morning George, I think the work and effort put in by your good self has made me take more care, and go the extra mile in the details and finish of the Building. I do appreciate all the effort and I hope I can repay you in some way on Abbotts Mead. Andy Edited January 25, 2013 by Andrew P 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 I have made a start on the platform flower beds today, I will get some propper 7 mm Hollyhocks or something to put in them eventually but at least it now ads a splash of colour to the Station. Once again in my quest for a posting the PVA is wet Andy (Flower Power) Lune. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
