richard w Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Nice work Terry. Love the signal gantry, fancy a go myself now. Is it all scratch built or has some sort of kit been adapted? All the other projects look great too. Good to see you getting really involved with the layout again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Todd Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Earlier,I had to remind myself,...............of where there was something familiar ................. Having had a box from John @ Greenscenes, a year ago @ the Newark Show, think I will get them out later.......................... Something Familiar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zr3ReciNITM&list=TLdtWQXdJakGqP4alTgs9yo5zdvSseir5g Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Jason T Posted September 23, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 23, 2014 So mate, are you tempted by any of the Judith Edge kits yet? Of course, it would mean adding a rail served industry as they are all industrial locos but that shouldn't be a problem with your ever expanding railway Mine will be going EM for the next project Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But first i need to finish off the clockwork ideas tamper kit. So you fancy going EM gauge next then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hybridangel77 Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 I spent the day today working around the area of the fly over. Adding the details around the girder plates like the cable trunking, pipes, electrical cabinets and then finishing it off by doing the ballasting. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaunthesheep277 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Like the use of a bendy straw on the girder bridges, cheap yet very effective method your factory's muddy yard at your TMD, may I ask how you did it? only I have a similar looking yard and mine was simple sand paper rubbed together and painted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hybridangel77 Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 It's chinchilla dust glued down the same way as ballast but spread out randomly and then painted and weathered. Yeah a good idea to use the bendy straw to represent a pipe...just got to weather it up now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Jason T Posted September 23, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 23, 2014 Here you go mate: http://www.ukmodelshops.co.uk/judithedge/kit/131 http://motorbogies.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_24 Not cheap and you obviously need to build the kit, although they are very well made and as long as you are patient and ok at soldering, you'll be fine. Mine was the first etched brass kit I made and although I did make a few errors along the way (which are, of course, reversible with etched brass kits as you can un-solder, clean up and re-solder), I was surprised at how easy it was. Bacup will remain OO but the next project, The Mill, is an entry for the EM Gauge Society competition to build a full EM gauge layout in 5' x 18". It will use industrial locos only (with a time period covering the 1930's to the early 70's) and quite obviously have a massive, grubby mill on it.

Cheers for the link Jason....The idea for the new layout sounds very interesting mate....Are you building it by yourself and will you be posting the progress onto RMWEB once again?

WCML100 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 hi terry, very good work as usual, some really realistic scenes progressing nicely. could i ask how you make the orange cable tubing to go under the track? and where did u get the yellow electrical cabinets from?

RMweb Premium Jason T Posted September 23, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 23, 2014 Thread is already started and Chris (who I am building it with) has already made a load of progress with the baseboard. I have been trying to get the track plan sorted in Templot but the outside single slip is proving to be a ba5tard to get right so far. In preparation, I have been building a crossover and single slip in OO for Andy (Bodgit) Peter's new layout, Bitton, as it is a long time since I built any track. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/90024-the-mill/?fromsearch=1 Hope this works as I am posting on my phone. Here should be the thread I started when I built the Thomas Hill Vanguard kit http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/38871-in-at-the-deep-end-judith-edge-vanguard-0-4-0/?fromsearch=1 Cheers, J.
