A lovely rural scene, Martin. Coming along really well. You really need to get something done to that signal box, though, its been derelict far too long! A disappointing end to the race, although you've got to hand it to Vettel, he knows how to use the loopholes in the rules. All the best, Trevor
-
Thank you for that. Given that, like you, I only have 9ft, I shall have to reconsider. I may have to think about pushing, as you have done. I shall certainly watch this space, as I enjoy your layout building. All the best, Trevor

I've been a big fan of your layouts since Palmetto, and have noticed that you've tended to push your trains in from staging. With Marlborough you started with a run round loop, seemingly enthusiastically, but have now reverted to propelling into the scene, but without explanation. Can I be cheeky and ask why? I ask because I was thinking of doing something similar to your original plan, and wondered what drawbacks you found. Really enjoying this thread. Trevor

Sometimes a compact camera can give a better impression because you can squeeze it into the scene between items of scenery. A digital SLR can be difficult to get in properly. I think that's what Kevin uses though, if my memory serves, and look at the pictures he gets! I know Andy uses a compact. Trevor

Its a good start, Martin. The only real problem I can see is a slight nick in the skyline in picture 3 near the water tower, which I'm sure you'll easily sort out. Otherwise it looks really good. Your curved ends to the support really help to make it. Trevor

I've been looking at Kevin's cake box challenges. You need some sage brush to try to match his trees. They're fantastic! Trevor
-
Brilliant, Martin. The backscene really sets it off. Love it. Trevor
-
You're taking over the speed mantle from Andy, I think! And superb work. Trevor
-
Looking good Martin. Nice to see Chumley End coming alive. Best Wishes, Trevor

It's good to see these nameplates being used. I actually designed and commissioned the "R" and "W" nameplates from Errol at 247 Developments in 2006, for my layout based on Walkden Yard. I also included "Charles" . I only chose names I remembered having seen on the Walkden system, having been brought up in the area. "No Place" is a very well presented layout, and I am enjoying the thread. Hope to see the layout at Manchester Bus Garage, LYDCC. Trevor

Hi Martin. I agree with Andy, it's looking good. Glad to have you back posting. Hope you're feeling better than you were at Stafford. Trevor

Hi Katwigan. I also wish you well with your treatment. I used to enjoy Uncle Joes Mint Balls as a kid. I also well remember Mars, along with Dauntless and Glorious with a few others. 75019 used to turn up a lot as well. I used to go spotting at Wallgate on the train from Walkden.All the best, Trevor.

That is absolutely brilliant!! Trevor
-
I just wondered if you had considered building the new layout the other way round with the station at the other end. This would bring the sidings to the operating side and save cutting through the platform between the waiting room and the bridge. I'll get my coat! Trevor
-
That is absolutely fantastic! Thanks for posting. Can't wait to see the opposite platform building! Trevor
-
If it was easy it wouldn't be a challenge! You only have to build it once, then you can take pleasure in it for ages. I wish I had the skill, patience and steady hand to do something like that. Keep up the good work. Magnificent! Trevor

Best project I've heard for an 08 is Paul Chetters project on Zimo from Digitrains. I've just fitted a 21 pin into my Hornby 08. It stuttered with the Loksound decoder in, but the Zimo seems to have cured this, whilst sounding better as well. Do we know what DCC fitting the TTS sound loco will have? As I say, the Loksound version had 21 pin, presumably to save space. Trevor

I also enjoyed seeing the layout running well. As I said to you yesterday, it looks better "in the flesh" than in pictures. A job well done! All the best, Trevor
-
Looking forward to seeing this today. All the best, Trevor
-
It's good to see Chumley End progressing again! It promises to be a great layout. Trev

Looking excellent Martin. Keep up the good work. Trevor
-
Yes, hopefully we can meet up at Martin’s if the dates fit. Looking forward to it. Look after yourself, best wishes, Trevor

Thanks for the message. Glad to see you're posting on Chumley End again. Look forward to more excellent modelling. Trevor
