Kal Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Not had a look yet...i think Kal might of given me a fright when he mentioned the prices...so im plucking up the courage to take a look. Oops. Well.... For the work involved and the uniqueness, it is probably good value, but when it costs the same as a loco, then You got to really want it. If it it fits your layout like dt's. Then it is money well spent, but if it is just because it looks fantastic, as it does, I need to sleep on it for a week or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if i could justify that sort of money on a vehicle and im sure the wife would have something to say too.lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tase Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Evening all Another project that i have been working on over the last few weeks is this signal gantry. The structure is almost complete...i added the mesh around the signal bays today so all that's left to do is add the signal heads and grime it up a bit. Terry, where did you get the mesh from please mate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the new lighting. and the office over the generator is absolutely gorgeous. Great work as usual Thanks Jaz....yes Daves work is magnificent and pushes me to build better...his gantries and signals are to die for and if mine turn out half as good as his i will be very happy. I love how the office/genny has turned out so far...i feel my scratch building skills are getting better now. More to come soon. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughnut Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Your scratch building Terry, has been top drawer from the off. That gantry does look the business when it's done, doesnt it. Love the portacabin/generator combo too. Is that based on an actual structure somewhere ?? Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Yes im loving how the gantry looks so far...i want them to look as realistic as yours. yes the cabin/genny is a real structure but only seen it on my laptop. i also see something similar on Widnes Vine Yard layout. Anymore updates on your layout...which is my personal favorite. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many separate bits and bobs to un-sprue...then glue together. I feel like I'm constructing Crystal Palace, there are that many panes of glass....driving me potty!! Hopefully, will have got it to a state worth photographing next week. I think I read that you've done a new video...so I'm off to have a relaxing look at all your hard work. Ps Your gantry looks spot on!! Dave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
