Removed a/c Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) Enjoyed your new video as always. Even spurred me on to buy one of those RM Class 128s! I model ER so I didn't have reason for one until I saw a photo of 55995 at York and plus your video was enough for me to place an order on Hattons! Thanks for that tidbit! I was thinking of not getting one either but I have to have one now !! May get a blue one with flush fronts, yellow ends as there is photos of one at Doncaster Edited April 30, 2014 by thebritfarmer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hybridangel77 Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 Hi all I have recently started work on the new TMD after i built three separate layout sections.Below are two overview photos of how it looks so far. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hybridangel77 Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 I have had this Bachmann engine shed sitting on the shelf gathering dust for a while so i thought it would make a good loco wash once i have altered it slightly. The lettering that i added on the side is from Slaters and i have yet to paint and weather the lower lettering to match the top. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hybridangel77 Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 I think its a good spot to place this new Bachmann line side hut.....along with the knightwing fuel tank. I scratch built the wall around it from plastikard and dry brushed it. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hybridangel77 Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 I have also been scratch building this signal box over the last few weeks.I have yet to add the interior before the roof is added and then i have to add the steps up to the upper floor but im having trouble finding a kit that will do the job.......any ideas as to where i could find one anyone? 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hybridangel77 Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 I have been very busy on the layout this weekend.As you can see i have almost built the new tunnel entrance and retaining wall. All is built on a 3mm MDF base then cast in slaters plastikard and i have primed it so far ready for painting. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hybridangel77 Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 I decided to build the wall at a slant for added affect. It is alos built using two types of brick as you may be able to tell from the photos. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hybridangel77 Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 On top of the tunnel mouth will be a small road and single rail track which will be for a loading siding for the concrete plant. A security fence will be added by the foot path and the track will be heavily weathered and overgrown as i would not see much traffic. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pipparooba Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Great updates there Terry I see you have been a busy bee on the layout and seem to have found your way again. That is always good for your followers including myself. It will be good to see some trains running the full loop on Glebe rd Cheers Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith73 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Hi Terry great photos. I like the TMD layout looks very busy looking forward to seeing you detailing the area as the station & small TMD are excellent one of the best I've seen. I've been following your progress on youtube but is great to see photo progress too Cheers Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swifty11 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 All looking nice!! Clever idea about the plant from the cement works Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanks522 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Hi terry, Its looking rather good! The depot has a really natural feel to it, not crammed with track and just the right amount of buildings. The retaining walls look excellent, slopping them makes them look even more impressive to me. I just watched your latest youtube video and the Turners yard also looks better now you've turned it 90 degrees. The whole layouts looking brilliant. Graham.

hybridangel77 Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 Thanks for the comments guys. The next job is to start painting the retaining wall and tunnel as soon as i get the time. I agree with you Graham about the wall....sloping it really does give it a nice added affect and im planning on adding a few little platforms at the top with metal railings around with ladders and flood lights (maintenance platforms) and also electric cables running along the wall. Turning the turners yard round is a much better option as you can see in the yard now but i need to get some more woodwork done around it for it to fit in.

richard w Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Looks great Terry, your scratch building always looks fantastic. The wall looks excellent, gives the layout a real London feel. Reminds me of the lines that head down to the low level platforms at St Pancras. Keep up the good work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Thanks dave.....Still a hell of a long way to go before i reach your standards but im working hard on it. Im going up the loft tonight to fill in the gaps and give the wall and tunnel its first coat of paint and look at adding all the little details.

RMweb Gold fishytrains Posted July 14, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 14, 2014 The new area is looking great. I have used the Springside signal box interior, it is good, especially as you can get two different sizes of kit. Looking forward to more progress soon.
