Mark Saunders Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I think the first two words in the title would give the ideal layout name "Canal Side"! Mark Saunders 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKxGREENY Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 As i said i would here is the track plan and I have cut the deck out of 3mm-4mm hard board (wardrobe backing), this has been placed on the frame so i can make sure every think fits e.g. the track work. The buildings have been borrowed from one of my other layouts or are things I had laying around, they are used here so i can get the idea of how high the back board needs to be. one of the pictures shows the traverser section i'm thinking of using draw sliders but I am unsure if they will give it to much height, so may have to keep to sliding it on the wood. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKxGREENY Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 here are some new images i decided to make a small change to one end with a small extension it will now have a bridge over that end. The water is down i have used yacht varnish it has worked well but if you use yacht varnish don't use pva to contain it because it discolors the paint a little. still to do - proper wiring & control panel buildings and structures uncoupling -ordered small magnets to play with frame staining/ painting-: i have small pot of black gloss maybe i will use that panel painting extension-: new section of track to be put down and soldered to. Hole for future joining with other projects ??? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKxGREENY Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 Gone for a light snow feel what do think still needs work. Building added new ware house and my attempt at Bedford truck kit from cooper craft made much harder than you would think not helped by excess on the parts hardest part was the cab the rest of the kit was simple enough.
