Nice to see all this loco action on the layout Paul. The header photo of the warehouse is my favourite, it really "works" visually I think.

Mikkel as always thanks for the kind comment, I am in the process of making the area around the station more grimey and run-down to fit in with the industrial atmosphere

I suppose wearing a skirt instead of an apron helps....to catch the small details when you're messing with the fiddly bits ! Saves grovelling....on the carpet eh!

Honestly the skirt was just for comfort honest......

The layout as ever is looking good, there is one improvement that can be made, ditch the GWR and get some LMS engines............is that buzz I can hear a Wasp approaching of a band on hardened GWR nuts coming to get me

GREEN, GREEN NEVER, Mikkel I think your losing the plot, remember I model a proper railway....

I want them all

I intend to grow old disgracefully

As for the crystals, I don't have any unused ones, in fact I need several more lamps, I think I may have to use silver paint, as even if I got spare crystals they are tiny, and I think fitting these will just test my vocabulary of bad language

I was thinking about doing that until the Domestic Overlord found out about my intentions and overruled me, apparently "what would the neighbours say?"

Sometimes it just not worth arguing..............

Where does the coal go in these things?

I agree its interesting to look into the social circumstances of the periods we model, I live in a typical northern town, in a typical terrace house built in the late 1800's into very early 1900's and its 2 up 2 down floor plan shows how many homes were fitted into very small areas, but also how many people were living in each home

Mikkel

I'm glad at least your day got off to a good start, I tried making some socks for the washing line, but just like my real one's every time I turned my back one of them mysteriously disappeared

I don't want to be sane, it must be boring.........

I think my sanity must be very well camouflaged as I lost it years ago, and I have not been able to find in since.

I have tooooooooooo many already

Well I cant think of another reason for Sunday's????

As for what the factory is manufacturing, I have no idea its that top secret even I don't know what they do??

Thanks for the compliment. But I believe you are modeling in N scale and I have to try that out first.

Its easy trust me

Thanks for the information about the surrounding of a factory.

One advice: spend some attention to gaps between your buildings and the surface they are standing on.

Job thanks for the advice, I normally try to bed the buildings in, but I thought I had got away with this one, dam that camera

I have an a great idea, on my next layout you can make all the buildings

Andy

Good to see your exhibition posts again, and if you need Foster Street again for November you know where we are

While I am generally quite a fan of superglue, I avoid it for glazing since, in my experience, it always makes the 'window' go cloudy.  I think we all have favourite details that we like to add and get great satisfaction from doing so

 

Mike

The one thing I forgot to do in my mad bout of activity is to go round the outside of the windows with a black marker, oh well I have the fun of rectifying this

Instead of superglue, try using some Johnson's Klear as the adhesive for your windows. Much less messy than cyano

I might give Johnson's Klear a try, I have not seen it in shops for a while though?

Mikkel

Thanks for the kind comment about the landscape, I must admit the Domestic Overlord has played a huge part in creating the finer details. When I try to make trees they seem to want to attach themselves to my fingers more than the layout.

Lets not speak about the signal, it was a test piece, the least said about it the better.

truly brilliant, fancy making some of the winged pests for my layout

Paul

Thank god I have not got any room on my layout for any Narrow gauge my spade like hands struggle as it is

Why do a model in N gauge when there are models like this in the world?

thanks, but all I seem to see are half finished jobs,
