Andrew P Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 Well the Telegraph poles are in, next will be the benches and then I need to pick up some people at the Derby Show next week. I will be there on the Saturday helping out Nick Pallett with his East German HO layout. Hallsdorf. It will be good to run somebody else layout at a show as I have only ever been behind my own. The PVA is slowly building up but at only two coats a day it is a painful process. Bodgit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 With the PVA still going on coat by coat and Day by Day it was time to do some more small touches to bring the whole thing to life, so today I have painted and fitted the Platform Seats, Lamp Posts and Telegraph Poles and then gone mad with the camera. Sorry its all Green today but I couldn't be A**** to get the other stock out of the box. Bodgit 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted May 5, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 5, 2013 Great stuff. I particularly like that first photo...most effective. That class 26 is a cracking looking model! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium southern42 Posted May 5, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 5, 2013 Shouldn't that be a shilling (1/-), Andy. Prototype and all that. I come back to wish you a good weekend and find Glenfinick even busier with Bank Holiday weekend traffic. Hope your passengers get home safely, tomorrow. Better put up some "No Paddling" notices so they don't stick around too long. Have good 'un. Polly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Donw Posted May 6, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 6, 2013 I love the way the details are lifting the layout really bring it to life. I wouldn't worry about the lack of passengers probably prototypical for the green era hahaha. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted May 6, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 6, 2013 If it were me, Andy, the layout would be stuck in a "green era time-warp". Very nice detailing - as usual. It's going to be so much fun when you get LL back! Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Cheers Guys, well Glenfinick has now come to a halt apart from some figs at the Derby show this weekend and just possibly some decent signals very soon. Bodgit of the Glen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Class 108 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Wow Andy, I've just been doing a quick tour of all your layouts. Have to say they are all awesome, some great scratch built stuff and detail. What are you going to do next? Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 Wow Andy, I've just been doing a quick tour of all your layouts. Have to say they are all awesome, some great scratch built stuff and detail. What are you going to do next? Alan Hi Alan, well thanks for posting and your comments are appreciated. My next major project will be a re build of Loch Leven, I sold it to a friend and he is now having my O Gauge Trebudoc after its last show in October and we will then swap back. I have several ideas for that as one of its main drawbacks for exhibiting is a fixed, high backscene that make it difficult to get into a car. I am having several ideas going around in my head at the moment and so between now and October will be doing a lot of planning. It will/may also have a new name and there will be a link once I start that. Glenfinick now has its platform lamps and the people I bought at the Derby Show on Saturday, so after a short running session today and a re wire for the Bachmann controller it can now be used with this as well as the Gaugemaster Prodigy for more flexibility at shows if I decide to offer it around for next year. Once again, it is the same old chestnut, I had a board offered to me and rather than build a nice new lightweight board, I used the FREEBIE and it really is to heavy even though it is only 6ft x 2ft. I can move it on my own, but it is difficult to balance and so I may put a carrying handle on the back so as to make it easier to carry. Thanks Again, Bodgit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Donw Posted May 14, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 14, 2013 It is funny how people will use old boards even if they don't match what they really want. A bit of ply and some timber doesn't cost much. Still I suppose it gives you a head start. Makes me think of that song "It aint heavy it's my layout" ouch time to go I think.

MRDBLUE17 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Hi Andy, Those photos look great, the first shot shows how effective your back scene is but like the shots down and in the layout as it creates some great views and very realistic.
