vtrtrucker Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 Hi guys,decided on putting an extension ,moved cattle dock which has given me 50" radius leading to new board,sufficient for pannier and prairie loco and other small shutters.thinking of putting a brewery on new board,straight thru and a siding. Started to have a go at scratch building the buildings . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeT Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Hello Lee, There's nothing wrong with those new building's you have made, excellent job all round, really looking forward to a visit with Andy (Bodgit) soon, so we can have a really good running session, l will bring some loco's down as well, keep the picture's coming please, very inspirational, George (PS) Why don't you send AndyY an e-mail to put your layout in the 'Layout section', you will get more viewing's and feedback..

Andrew P Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Hi Lee, I am glad to see you are now in the Layouts section and this will help you with other peoples ideas flowing in. As George has said the buildings are looking really good and once you have all the traffic in place it will be good, I am surprised that you have gone for a Brewery and not a Dairy as Dapol will have the Milk Tanks out very soon. Have you got a Station name yet that you can put on your heading? Andy, alias Bodgit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtrtrucker Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 Yeah layout called branah junction,don't know how to add that. And yeah,think I've made a mistake with brewery,as you said milk tanks out soon,plus I have some cws slaters ones, Think brewery is going on back burner, Need some pics of dairies as to give me some ideas.

Benjamin Brady Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Hello there First time I've seen this layout and I must say I'm impressed with what you have done here, and I shall follow your extension with interest. You look to be making a positive start on your brewery building aswell. Look forward to seeing this layout develop. Benjamin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Hi Lee, I have PM'd you re the name change, the Milk Depot is going to be much better as you can attach them to passenger workings as well. All the best, Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Western Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 As a fellow newbie to O gauge, our layout is a inspiration to me, I've got just three 4ft bare boards looking at me ! Nice to see what can be achieved in such a small space. Keep the pictures coming mate. Great Western Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
