Great shots mike,especially the one from inside the tunnel,very realistic. Some nice weathering on those locos too,time to get me airbrush out again i think! Cheers Ben

Done a little bit towards the layout this week,although my free time at the moment has been getting used in the garden. Thought id scratch build a plate girder bridge for the next corner of the layout,the idea being that this will provide a small track/road providing access to a small farm house that i have planned on that corner of the layout. I used brickwork for this bridge instead of stonework simply because it was just spare stuff i had lying about. In fact im not even sure if there is a brick/girder plate bridge on the S&C line? Anyway a few pics... Cheers Ben

Drivers view of the road bridge at ais gill summit from a 9f!

Very impressive jeff,the whole fell is looking huge in them pics! Great work Cheers Ben

Congrats on the magazine shoot,must be a very nice feeling when your layout gets featured in a mainstream mag. All your YouTube videos over the past few years have really helped many other modellers including myself,so thanks for that! Cheers Ben

Ooohhh a bit of grass! & i mean not the type you can smoke!!

Looking good jeff very realistic stone walling I reckon another 4 weeks and the walling will be pretty much complete? Cheers Ben

Probably the best modelling ive ever seen,and ive seen a lot!! Cheers Ben

Just had a good catch up on your thread andy Pencarne just gets better! Love all the detail & those new signs look great Cheers Ben

Great pics mike & good luck with the "pork pie" at the clinic. Just out of intrest..ive noticed the wire & post fencing on the embankment,did you scratch build that or is it the ratio one? Only asking as im planning on having some on my own layout but not sure yet on how id scratch build it. Cheers Ben

My old man has a regulator lever from A4 "miles beavor" Always wondered what it's actually worth if he ever sold it? Not that he probably would anyway.

Great work on the turntable I'd personally go with the small section on retaining wall,it looks better. Cheers Ben

The wall really follows the contours of the land jeff Looks great,walling should be finished for Christmas??!! Lol Cheers Ben

It certainly does look the part jeff,everything about it looks to scale & in proportion. Great work. When it comes to ballasting though,do you lay each individual ballast stone by hand?!! Ha ha Cheers Ben

The walling looks great jeff but my god! You must have the patience of a saint!! Cheers Ben

Nice set of pics Thomas looks well happy leaning into that curve! Cheers Ben

Sad news,id never met jock but by reading his posts on my layout thread i could tell he was a decent bloke. Rest in peace jock.

Fantastic pics & modelling andy! Love the weathering on the N class. The ground cover on the yard looks very realistic Cheers Ben

Lovely work andy Airbrush weathering really does bring out the detail and makes it so much more realistic Cheers Ben

Great work,very informative & you make it all look very easy!! Thanks for the info regarding the damp walls Cheers Ben

Having another look at this masterpiece! On the stonework underneath the bridge...how did you get that effect of it being wet with rain water? If you dont mind me asking? Fantastic work! Cheers Ben

Done one small job whilst i was up in the loft. Fitted gangway connectors that ive had for ages to a rake of 7 mk1 coaches. Can't believe i used to run them without now! Makes a huge difference. Cheers

Was up in the loft this evening having a tidy up & had jubilee "achilles" running on the layout. Just a couple of shots from one end of the layout as the natural light was fading fast,the velux windows are only on one side of the roof unfortunately. Cheers Ben

Amazing layout! Really like how you share the info about how you actually did things,like the road surface etc. Stunning work Looking forward to more pics Cheers Ben

More great shots,lovely weathering on the tank loco. Does the station canopy lift off to give access to clean the trackwork underneath etc? Cracking layout Cheers Ben
