TFR Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 The clocks don't work at the moment, but we have all the mechanisms to make them work. Just need a bit of spare time! If the clock's stopped just now you have as much time as you need Seriously for a bit, that is a seriously stunning bit of work. Incredible effort.

I was privileged to have taken the hotel and Les from his home to John's place on Monday morning for its installation on the railway. A couple shots I took: And here a shot showing Les, the genius behind the hotel and the station roof, all 40 sq ft of it! Steve.

Popular Post Les Green Posted December 14, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2016 Yesterday we installed the North Western Hotel on the layout. Previous to that Pete Goss had installed 156 figures on Lime Street. This was the first time the hotel had been photographed with the figures in position. We were lucky to share the moment with Andy York and here a few preliminary photos he took during his day with us. First an overall view of the front of the hotel before it was put on the layout. Note the crimson liveried doorman in front of the hotel. Also note the twists on the canopy support columns are left and right handed! Viewed from inside the station. The row of station vendors will eventually be replaced by a more detailed set. More photos when Andy has processed some more of his fantastic images. 24 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

antrobuscp Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I remember, as a child, queueing from Platform 8, out of the station into the small road behind the "Punch and Judy" and out to Lime Street whilst waiting to board one of the trains to Butlins at Pwllheli. This model brings it all back. Without doubt, arrangements should be made for the long term preservation and display of this whole layout. The sheer scale of the modelling at this quality is truly staggering - all the more because such praise is given "willy-nilly" these days in much less deserving cases. A sincere "Well Done" to everyone involved. Colin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Steve Hewitt Posted December 24, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 24, 2016 (edited) Two years ago.... In November 2014 we took the layout to Cologne for the four day "31 inter modellbahn ausstellung 2014 keulen". The largest model railway exhibition in Europe with some 60,000 visitors. For some reason, I've just found this YouTube clip of our layout, taken by a visitor to the show: It certainly brings back some good memories of a great trip abroad, but also reminds me of how much the layout has developed over the two years. Our next trip abroad is to Glasgow in February. Till then, have a Merry Christmas and we look forward to seeing you in the New Year. Steve.

RMweb Gold Popular Post Tony Teague Posted January 5, 2017 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) Very privileged, along with a couple of good friends, to have been able to spend yesterday visiting Liverpool Lime Street, and I have to say that it exceeded all expectations! What an amazing layout, both in terms of its appearance, and its technical sophistication. Here are a couple of my shots which highlight the fantastic new hotel building, plus Peter Goss' recently installed figures: A huge thank you to John, Steve, Noel and Rob of the Lime Street team for looking after us - an excellent day!
