Anthony 37411 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Hi there I'm Anthony, Marcus's son. I have now created my own login so I can post on here as I'm helping to build Peak Dale Wood. I'm hoping to film the progress of the layout as it is built. I shall look forward to getting to know you all. Cheers Anthony. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack374 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Judging from the vid, I think Anthony/Marcus need to install some shelving or cupboards for all the locos, it's like a modern Vic Berry's! (almost) The video's great, duly liked and subbed. Jack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus 37 Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 Morning Chaps Well Anthony will be pleased when he sees the response to his first post and his videos. He's been a diamond so far helping with the layout. Especially with the track laying and carving the rock faces. Anyway I've just done the bit I was dreading on the box. Fitting the ends to the hip roof. Again I've found the foam board to be the perfect modelling medium as if you do get you're dimensions slightly wrong it can be easily corrected without any trouble by gently carving away at it. As you can see from the second picture the roof is completely detachable so I can access the inside of the box to do the interior. Now that the main structure is complete I can start adding the finer details before attacking with the paint brush. The roof on the prototype is felt so I'm thinking along the lines of using Fine wet and dry to represent this unless anyone knows of anything better. Let me know if you do please. Completed roof Roof detached. Yesterday afternoon we laid some more track including the storage sidings and the unloading roads as far as the point work at the end of the quarry. Today I shall have a go at getting the tunnel mouth into position and cutting some PIR to fit over the top. Will post some pictures later.

LOL Anyway you still need something out to play with, errrrrm, I mean test the track. Cheers Marcus 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Hi Anthony here, With the new layout coming along nicely I thought it would be a good idea to start a YouTube channel called Peak Dale Wood specifically for videos of the layout. Here is a link to the channel where you will find the first video Peak Dale Wood Part 1. https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCcgrLGMe8B5qh68TU7C5kIA Shortly after making the film my new class 31 decided to go up in smoke and is now on holiday in Margate having a new decoder fitted. Once dad has done some tidying up tomorrow I'll do some more filming which will include some of the new scenery. Cheers, Anthony Hi Anthony, I missed this one this morning, now that I'm awake properly I've found it and its really good, some wonderful stock on there as well. Well done gang.

Marcus 37 Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 Thanks Folks. We've been working on the scenery round the tunnel this afternoon. The PIR has been cut to shape with the rock faces carved in the appropriate places. The tunnel mouth is in situ and all clearances have been checked with the longest stock and the vehicle with the biggest overhang. At the moment it's all just tacked in place as we will need to extract the tunnel mouth to clad it and paint it now we know it's clearances are OK. Will post some pictures after tea. Cheers for now. Marcus. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus 37 Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 Superb video I like the arriva mk2s wouldnt mind a set myself David Hello David Sprayed those up years ago when the top & tailed 37s worked on the S&C. Unfortunately the Arriva logos are a bit crude as they weren't licensed at the time so had to make them myself. Used to run it top and tailed as well with a Bachmann 37 on the front and a Limby on the back. As the Bachmann loco was slightly faster it kept the couplings taught so ran very well.
