mason Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 Well not a great day in the workshop today, I had a go at fitting the rear and side panels only to find that it looked terrible at the rear board and really didn't come out well. I decided to re add the curved piece that I'd luckily saved and make the back edge straight again, this has given me another headache of what to do with the added space of about 2ft by 3" I may just use it as a overgrown waste land with some old buildings that used to be part of the steel works but I'm really not sure yet. This also caused the fiddle yards grief and I had to realign them too. Hard work believe me, but I think it's nearly there and hopefully I can get some wires in and trains running by the end of the week. I will pop some pics up tomorrow, but it's time for a glass of wine now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mason Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Excellent, hopefully ill get a chance to hear that then, I think I'm going to have to save hard to get some sound on here. Iv still got to get the point motor situation sorted yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iv still got to get the point motor situation sorted yet. Enjoying watching this progress Neil, I have found its good to have a smaller fleet of engines with sound rather than having a BR sized fleet that me and my brother had years ago. Feels a bit more special and more time can be put into detailing. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mason Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 Definatly John, I think im going to try my hand at a few Cambrian kits and see how I go with those Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack00 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Neil, looking very good mate. Convinces me even more big layouts aren't always neccessery to achieve an outcome. I can see (and everyone else can) its going to be another cracker of a layout. Good luck with the kits and cant wait to see further updates .

mason Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 Hi jack, thanks for the kind comments, I think I'm getting a name for my self as a small industrial layout builder haha Just a little update. All the track is wired and running except the point which needs to be motorised and wired fully. On the buildings front Iv decided to go with some huge steel works buildings at the back of the rail fed building to give it a larger complex feel, I have kind if taken inspiration from the Wales and rain layout of Marc smiths and the round steel works layout that I can't even think if the name of. Alot of work to go into this with some cool lighting and an arc welder light I think too. A few update pics Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cav Thanks mate, I think the full on steel works with pipes n girders n cranes on the outsides will be a great contrast with the greenery of the embankments.I really want the 31 mate, need to save my pocket money first haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mason Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Little update. I have started on the building paintwork, I'm not to happy though as it looks really dark so I think ill change it to a blue instead. Also Iv mapped out how the rear of the building will look and were the crane will be too. On the greenery front I have done the right hand embankment with a small path through the middle and a few bushes Lots still to do including that point motor that Iv still not brought Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
