Module00

Your layout is realy great !

Great ! Can I use this photo on my blog?

Hello, Here are some images of everyday scenes at Crosshill Station. Little by little the platforms come alive and the layout module comes to life, even if some details remain to be realized. Good evening !

Some others pictures for the work stages I took advantage of some extended weekends for more advanced module 4. It still remains to place signals and electrical cabinets, characters, road vehicles, 1 or 2 trees, the layout of the platforms, and without doubts some other details. Have a good day !

I like very well, the two last wagons. I have these models, but dont weathered...

Greetings to everyone, I was away from the forum for a while, but the layout has come a long way. Here are some pictures of module 5. I have began the module 4 ... The joinery, there is about a month and a half a go. Then, tracks are put and cabled, as well as the turnout engines, and i have painted the track. All work very well. Here are somes photos of the very first stages. I comeback very soon with others pictures. have a good day !

amazing pictures, your layout is great !

a nice and realistic layout, one of my favorites on this forum.

Excellent architectural work. Realy a nice realisation. I like it very well.

Hi everybody, After the vegetation, the metal! Tolkien would not be happy. In addition to the distillery, the corner module contained a "private siding" of ferrous scrap, which had to be produced and for the decoration and for the loading of the wagons. Here, so a little tutorial. I used the good old method of the "rabiots" box. I spread the set on my worktop and I carefully cut with plastic clamp various elements: Evergreen parts and profiles, clusters of models, remnants of metal bridges and grids, etc. I dismissed everything that did not represent metal. I grouped everything in a small plastic box, before pouring it into a larger container and mixing it all with a mixture of white glue and water. I also cut loading supports in cardboard feathers (carton plume in french), a support for the dimensions of my scrap cars. Once the mix was done, I realized the pile of scrap and the loads. A bit like making a sandwich, I spread the mixture. After drying (24h), I painted the sets with a spray of brown acrylic paint. After drying (24h), I started the weathering work by dry brushing with acrylic metallic paints. Drying time is instantaneous. You can then place the elements on the decoration and in the wagons. What I like with this technique is to have loads matching those on the decor, it gains realism and this creation of loading is really nice to achieve with a simple technique. And finally, the wagons in situation on the layout.

Hello to all, I have to fit out the inside of the distillery. And I added details, characters, vehicles, barrels ... The works continue, see you soon!

Thank you very much Charlie, welcome here !

Hello, et merci pour ton français. Oui j'ai bien compris ce que tu m'as écris. Thank you very much for yours advices.

Hello to all, at present, I realize the module 3b (the distillery and the scrap merchant(swashbuckler). The name of the distillery is not very Scottish, but it is a tribute to my stepfather who was a big amateur of whisky and who left us this summer... Here are some images.

I like the atmosphere of your layout and choice of colors and tones.

thank you very much for your advice ! and the instructive pictures is realy nice.

good evening everyone, Here is the entire plan of the layout that does not miss the loopback module. What do you think of the map of Cross Hill station, that you ran out of space and that you put a siding track for the locomotive shunter in the case of a trains with coaches and locomotive (not reversible). I set the track for a shunter locomotive to shunt coaches passenger and allow the locomotive of the train to leave. What do you think about having an extra track hidden behind the backdrop to hide a train? the module will make 141cmx37cm. With + or - 37 cm from the corner module in the extension of Narrow Lane. What track plan will you prefer? sorry for my bad english...

your layout is realy amazing ! very nice and realistic layout.
