Hi Hoover, The low relief buildings are a mix of Scalescenes, Model Railway Scenery and scratch built. The backscene on the rear wall is one from Antics On Line, 'Townscene OO Roofscape Gasworks BS2'. The overall length of the backscene was a little short so I had to make a little addition to one of the Scalescenes buildings. This involved putting a small building on top, could be classified as a elevator house or an air conditioning ventilation room... the gap... and after... Where the road bridge meets the backscene, I needed a street scene in the right perspective. After searching the web, I copied, resized, changed colour/tones etc, and the image was made to suit the scene. This I had to play with so that it looked right on top of the gasworks roofscape backscene. The left hand end wall of the modules backscene had been made from copying a section of the gasworks roofscape backscene. The images of the pub (Bakers Arms), the building next door to the right and the taller building behind, I found on the web, which I had to manipulated in Photofilter 7 to fit the scene. These images where simply overlaid on top of each other. The scene above the bridge was an image downloaded from the web once again. This to was manipulated in Photofilter 7 to give the desired results. I chose this image as it has that single freight line which looks as if it is heading towards the road bridge. Cheers, Gary.

G'day Merc435, To answer your question, I intend working from cards, but for the exhibitions, I just shunt the wagons around to the appropriate sidings. Eventually I will produce a few sets of cards with different operating schedules. G'day Rangers, Arghhh, well, There is more to the story on another forum,,, I hope Andy doesn't mind me posting up a link here ?? http://www.platform1mrc.com/view_topic.php?id=90&forum_id=7 Thanks for the tasty comment. Cheers, Gary.

Ok, a few more. I didn't want to post up too many to start with fearing I may run out of photos ! ^ Typical railway workers, all talk, no action ! ^ Sentinel shunter working a couple of TEA tankers from the oil depot. ^ It's a busy life, one train a day, except when exhibiting !! ^ 7502 passes an idle 6316 whilst shunting vent vans. ^ Through the trees. ^ An older pic looking down the line with a early Hornby Class 26 and Class 29. ^ Old industrial materials standing the test of time. ^ The canal complete with rusting drums and other debris. ^ A rake of grubby Presflos waiting for dispatch. ^ The layout during electrical testing. I'm using DC here and my Bachmann Class 08. ^ The two individual sector plates. The lower three road sector plate is for arrivals and dispatch and the top two road is the off scene oil depot. Cheers, Gary.

This is my exhibition layout Industry Lane. The layout was built as a result from some discussion with my a good mate Toto. He suggested that I should build an industrial type layout as I have never attempted one, although I have modeled the obligatory BLT, see here : http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/87945-linden-ford-a-second-hand-inglenook-layout/ This layout was a new challenge for me. Peafore Yard was inspiration for my layout, pinching a few ideas off Rob gave me some scope to work with. The scenic section is 5' long and 1' wide. There is a 2' long detachable fiddle yard with 5 sidings on two setor plates. This makes for interesting operation and very short trains ! Control is via DCC, (NCE), although the points (electrofrog) are wire in tube. All track is Peco code 75. Scalescenes kits feature on the layout as well as some scratch-builds and the Hornby Cement Hopper, slightly improved. The layout consists of three individual industries, 1. Cement, 2. Factory/warhouse and 3. Oil, which is actually 'off-scene', but the tankers do need shunting about the layout. Generally, I use three locos on the layout, Class 08, Class 22 and Class 25, all with sound. I do have a Class 33 (Heljan) , just waiting for delivery of a sound profile for this loco, but it will be ready for Liverpool in October. It also requires weathering. I particularly like the BR green era, although reasonably short lived, those liveries are my favourites. The Class 08 (Bachmann) is in black livery and a Sentinel diesel shunter in red Esso Petroleum livery, occasionally makes its presence felt. All locos and rollingstock have been weathered by myself to a rather grotty appearance. I started the build in mid January 2015 and it has been to it's first exhibition, earlier in June. During the exhibition, I took out 3rd place in the 'Best New Layouts' category. Although 99% complete, I still have some extra details that I will add before it's next exhibition in October. As we know, a layout is never really finished, is it ?? So, a few pics... ^ Class 25 (7502) hauls in a rake of vent vans for the warehouse siding, whilst the 08 rests in the headshunt. 6316 waits to depart with its train of presflos. ^Viewing the yard from Industry Lane road bridge. ^ Tunnel Cement siding and warehouse/factory sidings. ^ Class 22, 6316 peering under the road bridge. ^ Jack, (my son) and I operating at the Epping Model Railway Exhibition in June, 2016. Cheers, Gary.

Not only the presence of the repainted Class 73, and a new fence being put up, do I see another 'building' addition under the canopy ?? Would like to see a clearer pic of this addition, please ? :yes: Cheers, Gary. ps. Your layout has inspired me to build a 4' x 1' parcel depot layout.

Apologies Jon, but it has been quite some time since I looked in last. Must admit the layout has come on in leaps and bounds. The pics on this page are fantastic. The second pic in post 303 is absolutely stunning. Keep the great work coming. Cheers, Gary.

Looking forward to the pics. Cheers, Gary.
