jcm@gwr Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Hi Adrian, Unfortunately not, I must have been looking after my customers too well (everything has been well lagged/ insulated!). Also the some of the jobs have been put off until the weather changes because they involve switching off and draining the heating system (too cold for that!) Still I can get on with some modelling while waiting for the phone to ring. Good luck with the next stage, Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CourthsVeil Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Hi Adrian, Yet another great little layout full of atmosphere, well done! I have a soft spot for well presented layouts like this. Hope it’s all well at yours, it's been a bit quiet here? Armin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Hi Adrian, I have just had a quick look through and this looks really interesting, :locomotive: more pics please. Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Nickey Line Posted January 21, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hi all, sorry for the lack of updates, and thanks muchly for the interest! I'm aiming to get back on track with this shortly. Some progress has been made on the layout, but last year was rather difficult for me ('annus horribilis' was the term I used on my - abandoned - blog). I've been dabbling with bits and pieces though; I'll attempt to post some pics of what I've been up to before long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cklammer Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I am very impressed with your layout - it is very nice! For the space between the warehouse and the bridge I'd go for the sketch backdrop idea presented earlier - the other option with the low relief building will not work as there is just not enough depth available. What are your plans regarding the area between the points and the front of the layout? It is rather largish ... Best of Luck, Christian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcm@gwr Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Hi Adrian, Shameless bump I'm afraid, but I was wondering how you were progressing? Still waiting to see how you dealt with the gap to the left of the who warehouse? See you Monday, and you can be updated about the minor flooding we had at the club!* Jeff *the weather, not my plumbing work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Nickey Line Posted February 11, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 11, 2014 Thanks for the nudge Jeff, it really is time I got my finger out and updated this thread... so here goes! First up, I've made a start on a cassette fiddle yard. The join is made using brass bolts with loops of phosphor bronze wire soldered on. It works but the alignment isn't automatic, so I'll need to make further changes. I'm thinking of using a pair of male/female dowels to create a more positive join. The sides are too high as well, so they'll be cut down. Still, it does work, I can drive a complete train off the layout now. I've also been giving some thought to the issue of the space by the bridge. As much as I like Neil's sketch, I don't think it will work as the perspective is not as it appears in the sketch. The original low relief I tried was no good either, so I've started playing around with another oddment I had knocking around... I think it works quite well. Any thoughts? Obviously it's only a mock-up at present; something a bit shorter might work better, but the general look seems right to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Job's Modelling Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Beautiful build background factory. As a card modeler I like to see these kind of buildings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcm@gwr Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I think it works well, it also helps disguise the rest of the road, if you see what I mean! So, the big question is, when will it be ready for the exhibition circuit? Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Nickey Line Posted February 25, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 25, 2014 Exhibitions!?!!?! Well you never know. Trouble is they do tend to clash with football and cycling... ...and with a move pending, work may be further delayed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc smith Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I do like that factory building AdrianNice neat work on those cassettes tooI think it's all looking really goodOne thought - and you've probably already considered thisbut I'd disguise the bare wood of the cassettes...A bit of paint, or some brick printed card will help hide the edge of the cassettes,as you look under the bridgeI always continue the scenery, ballasting etc underneath the bridgeIt helps take the eye away from "un-scenicked" areas in the fiddleYes, exhibitions clash with football, walking, and gigs / music for me...... but I still like doing themCheers againMarc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcm@gwr Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Hi Adrian, This is just shameless bump! But, I am looking forward to your next update/progress report. (I'll understand if that's not this week!) See you soon, Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
