RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted May 19, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 19, 2017 Well there's a turn-up for the books; we knew the layout was going to be in MRJ but never imagined that it would be on the front cover! IMG_4894.JPG I'd like to complain. I went into Smith's in Sutton Coldfield this evening and they didn't have the new MRJ. I may have to do something rash like mention sausage next.

Penlan Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I mention in the MRJ 255 topic about brickwork, but now I've found this topic, a Question.The Loading Shed brickwork, Stretcher Bond throughout?I'm sure you must be right as your up in the industrial heartlands, but I would have thought English Bond or English Garden Wall type for such a high face.

RMweb Premium Jason T Posted May 25, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 25, 2017 It's actually SE Finecast 7mm stretcher bond brick, to represent dressed stone in 4mm. Maybe a bit too uniform but some sand / gritstone buildings do appear to be built of stones that are pretty regular in size. It is more convincing as stone (in my opinion) than the SEF 4mm dressed stone sheets (and has narrower mortar courses), which was actually used on the chimney (borrowed, rather permanently it would seem) from Bacup. I guess I could have used Slaters as on the mill but to be honest we were running out of time and I fancied putting in the corner stones; it would have been a pain and possibly looked scruffy had I tried to trim the Slaters stones to size to fit convincingly. I used the SEF sheets on a couple of buildings on Bacup too, so that not all structures were constructed from the same stone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-GNR Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Heres a few more crap photos that didn't make the cut. Waiting with great excitement for first sightings of MRJ 255 in north Leeds. Cheers Chris 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penlan Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) It's nice to see a van with the door open, static action (I suppose that's an oxymoron?).Edit : Seen on another layout, though the horse linkage seems to be adrift, ... and although the brake levers are down, the brake blocks don't seem to be touching the wheels....:- The 'ILAM GAS' wagon (made up livery) was on John Degg and Bill Wood's layout ILAM (Ilam) - also known as 11 am Edited May 26, 2017 by Penlan 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted May 29, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 29, 2017 Finally got my hands on a copy of MRJ, Good article chaps. Think this edition souls be renamed the coal drop edition. Hate to point it out but the other layout's coal drops are bigger. #coaldropenvey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penlan Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Hate to point it out but the other layout's coal drops are bigger. On the MRJ thread I mention Guano Drops too... The Station at Little Bytham set in the Victorian period with these would make a nice Cameo layout Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrkirtley800 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Enjoyed your piece in MRJ, and many congratulations on a superb model, it deserves all the accolades for sheer attention to detail and careful modelling. I envy both of you for your skills. Derek Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-GNR Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Morning Just a little reminder that The Mill plus six other excellent layouts will be at the first Staffordshire Finescale Group & Friends show Sat 8th July. This is going to be an excellent showcase with a relaxed atmosphere. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/119176-staffordshire-finescale-group-modelling-showcase-8th-july-2017/ Cheers Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
