RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted March 3, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 3, 2019 Steve, I was thinking of redoing my sea wall with this product from Redutex which to my eyes looks like the walls on the Teignmouth section. Any thoughts yourself please. https://www.dccsupplies.com/item-p-107020/brick-random-stone-beige-weathered-redutex-076sl121.htm 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve fay Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 Looks good, I’ve noticed on the Teignmouth side of the wall that sandstone is interspersed with Dartmoor granite Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Ade. The new owner of Mermaid Cove has already started on the fiddle yards / cassette options for exhibition use. Im not sure when their first Exhibition will be but I will post up details as and when I know. As for the Riviera line I’m still waiting on laser cut parts to finish up the three sections. 2 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve fay Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) Tunnel mouth template sent off to the laser cutters, A few more trees planted on Holcombe Cove, overall I need another 12 to finish the layout over all 3 boards. These will all be from the MBR Range. As the layout is nearing completion thoughts turn to its future, Ideally I’d love to find a club who could have it permanently set up in an oval so we could run trains. With my 6th MRI scan booked and the possibility of more surgery in the future taking it to Exhibition’s is going to be to much for me plus I don’t have the room at home to store the curve and fiddle yard sections.

railwayrod Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Hi Steve. I have enjoyed watching this layout grow especially so as it is just along the coast from where I live (Torquay). When I moved down here more than 50 years ago steam was very, very rare with all the trains diesel hauled but I do remember a long freight hauled by a 2-8-0 loco making its way along the sea wall but I was too far away to positively identify it. This whole line from my side of Exeter to Newton Abbot is just fantastic and it always brought a sigh of relief to me when emerging along the River Exe after every one of my weekly trips to my London office knowing that I was nearly home. Great modelling Steve - you could not have chosen a more beautiful stretch of railway to model. This comes from a modeller who is a BR (M) region so praise indeed!!!

RMweb Premium Hal Nail Posted June 1, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 1, 2019 I would be fantastic to see it all together, even if a one off display at somewhere like Telford. What’s next - Dainton sidings perhaps? 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve fay Posted June 1, 2019 Author Share Posted June 1, 2019 Funny you should mention Dainton sidings, A friend of mine has drawn up a rough sketch in templot although I don’t think it would ever get done with out having the space some where. Here’s two shots that didn’t make the Model Rail article and the cover shot pictures remain the copyright © of Chris Nevard / Model Rail. 8 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted June 1, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 1, 2019 That looks magnificent Steve and as for Dainton Sidings it is something that would be rather nice if I had the available space. Always drooled over Michael Heaven's creation. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve fay Posted June 1, 2019 Author Share Posted June 1, 2019 (edited) Michaels version of Dainton is currently being upgraded, I’m sure it’s in private hands now but I’ve seen some pictures of the new scenic work.

RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted June 2, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 2, 2019 Well I bought Model Rail today on the strength of this being in the issue and wasn't disappointed. I take it the words were fashioned through a telephone conversation you had Steve with Chris Gadsby. That might explain the Atlantic Ocean instead of The English Channel mentioned being modelled. Lovely photos of your superb modelling. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve fay Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 (edited) The Riviera line has been sold on and will be completed by some one else, it’s a shame I couldn’t finish it but I’m glad it’s got a new home and the new owner may even get it on the Exhibition circuit. An unforeseen house sale has forced the curtailment of all projects at the moment and for the foreseeable future.
