Thanks for the compliment, this is it in situ, the layout is still a work in progress.

The whole scene just works. The colours, textures everything.

This building looks very good.

 

What is the loco in the first photo? It looks like a 3D printing….

Thank you, it's an amalgam of several Shropshire / Herefordshire prototypes. I really must get some progress pictures up on my thread, I've been busy messing about with locos and wagons and your impressive production line of coaching stock is reminding me that I have no passenger stock in a finished state yet!

It's the infamous ex MSWJR Number 23 that I collaborated with @chuffinghell on. The CAD drawings and print for the body were all his own work and blow the commercial offerings into the weeds.

This was what I did with it, there's a Hornby Jinty in there somewhere!

Goods lock up, started off as a Will's kit, not much of the original left.

The warehouse for Kensington Olympia ( N gauge) is pretty well complete, just chimney pots and a bit of weathering to add. I’ve painted a ghost sign on the end wall.   J Lyons were headquartered nearby so this a bit of a homage. This corner of the layout is dare I say it ………almost finished!

It's been a while since anyone posted on this thread so here's a scratch-built N/2mm old warehouse in the process of demolition. It's mostly made from card (mountboard) and styrene sheet. It's not a recent modelling project but the photo was snapped a few days ago:

A very colourful garage.

They were in the days before garages sold a single brand of fuel and oil. As I'm something of a vintage car and bike nut, all of the branding colours are as authentic as I can manage. The buildings are an amalgam of several examples that stood in Leicestershire and Shropshire.

One of mine currently under construction in 7mm scale. There's a build thread here:

 

 

And a 00 Prairie tank for scale:

Getting towards the end of the list of buildings for Kensington Olympia……

St Mary Abbots Court somewhat reduced in size and rearranged to fit the site. Chimneys have been added since the photos were taken.

 

At the other end of the layout is a model of what is now the rear end of the K West Hotel but looks like it was originally a 1960s office block.

This is my recently completed (well, almost) Overbridge Building of the 1883 Midland design Burton-on-Trent station. It's entirely cereal packet and inkjet printed own textures with Peco turnout packet plastic for glazing. Vallejo paints were used when textures didn't apply. Most of the cutting was performed by my Cricut cutter, following designs I drew up in Xara Designer Pro X10.

 

View of the south side of the building showing the Gallery:

And, finally, a view inside the forecourt canopy:

 

All the doors are hinged, so can be 'posed' open/shut as required. It's taken about 2-months to get this far.

The last blocks of buildings prior to Kensington Olympia being exhibited in May. Mews Houses at the north end of the station. Mountboard carcasses with plasticard outer walls etc.

For my 4mm/OO Colchester layout, an early GER structure which still survived into the 1950s was the stable block. Fortunately a reasonable photograph was found, and the building was identical in style, albeit smaller, to the stables which still remain at Dereham. These buildings had been surveyed by Mike Senatore of the GERS,  and he kindly produced a drawing for the Colchester stable block.  (The timber "shed" in the photo had disappeared by c1955 the period of my layout!)

Haven't posted for a while, just some photos of an exterior stairway/escape for one of the buildings in my Clayton End OO Stone Quarry Terminal section.  It's been out on the circuit - so I think it is self-explanatory. The structure was created for the end building in the first image.
