john flann Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) Jamie, glad you liked it. Used this on a painted cork base. Edited January 6, 2018 by john flann 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post john flann Posted January 6, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) Jamie, this is another shot taken at the same time. The bottom affects are obtained using different shades of paint. The polyurethane is poured on and left to dry. Other coats can be added to gain thickness. Any bubbles can be pricked and the liquid closes round them. It's not difficult. You want to make sure however the bottom is level and the liquid doesn't leak out! There are many other shots of this scene in my Hintock thread. (Go to the most recent to see the scene complete and work backward for its development.) Needless to say its a favourite locality for photography. Regards, Edited January 6, 2018 by john flann 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingfisher24 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Big sister. DSC_1015.jpg has the big sister dropped her tender behind here? I always enjoy watching alloa when ever I see it and was nice to see my j88 on the layout next to 68335. I look forward to seeing the layout again. gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to seeing the layout again. gary Hi Gary I must admit it does look a bit skew wiff but a shot taken further on shows there is a certain mismatch on the running plate and tender. Propelling move with the J37 which was common at Alloa. Even bigger sister.. ..and one to match your own! Good to hear the nice comments Gary but the diary is empty so no future shows planned as we speak. It would be nice to take it south of the border again for one last outing but nothing planned. Most of the effort at the club just now is going into the new layout Larbert. Like Alloa its a scale representation of a Scottish station but mainline this time with opportunities for Duchesses and A4s to rub shoulders with the J36s and Caley tanks. At 40ft long it will allow scale consists with all trains following prototype as regards locos stock and length so expect to see A4s on the 3hr Aberdeens with only 6 or 7 on then a Duchess on a Euston Perth with 12 or more. We hope to introduce more diesel traction too with Sulzers and NBLs prominent...if we all live long enough to complete it and still be fit enough to humph it off to a show.

Dave. the new layout sound very interesting, I read a little ahead and missed the larbert partand thought perth for a moment, but, you would need rather more than 40ft for that I should think. I look forward to seeing the new creation when it comes along onto the circuit. I seem to remember seeing shots of a few c16's as well. it is always bice to see a good variety of stock running. gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitalspark Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Hi Gary yes it is Larbert early 60s and modelled from a scale track plan and photographs. It has been extensively researched and taken a few years to finalise but its well under way now. There is no foreshortening of the station area with the 40ft taking up the bulk of that with its approaches although we do have to compromise after that and have shallow curves each end through scenic breaks to the fiddles. As the layout is Larbert station the returns to the fiddles are outwith that and therefore not subject to the accuracy that the main layout enjoys. We have installed a 14 road fiddle with usable lengths of around 30ft each road although sectioned into x 6 per road or 84 sections. Long trains may occupy more than one section but there should be adequate accommodation for the long pacific hauled expresses plus all the local traffic and minerals and goods. It offers an interesting location being just after the junction with the LNE & LMS lines from the south so everything from a J36 to an A4 on the LNE plus Caley 4-4-0s to Duchesses on the 'other side' plus most of the Standards. Diesels will include what we now know as 24/25/26and 27s often double headed on passenger with 17/20/21sPeaks and 40s plus the 08s and first gen DMUs including Gloucester 100. All signals accurate from photographs and working including the many ground discs. If the old farts building this see the course and complete it we are in for a treat...I include myself in that lot btw. Cheers Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john flann Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) Since posting the previous image I have "played" with it slightly, mainly to remove the unsleepered piece of track in the foreground. And, one other point the Signal Box is plonked rather than placed. That's in hand. Edited January 16, 2018 by john flann 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
