    Ian, I travelled a lot to Glasgow in the 1970s and can only remember the newsagents in Queen Street Station, which might have been John Menzies back then. Are you on Facebook (or have a friend/family on FB)? There may be an ‘Old Glasgow’ page and if you posted that question there, you might be amazed at how many responses you get! Isn’t it annoying that we never thought to photograph the places we took for granted back then? Marlyn

    Thanks Dickon - Adobe Creative Suite was always part of my professional software and I thought it was about time I tried it out for one of these small model projects. I am very impressed with the range and quality of downloadable kits available online. To be able to use such basic materials as paper and recycled card is a very enjoyable challenge and I have also been inspired by the work of many of the modellers here on the Forum.

    You just read my mind! I don’t have the link handy, but there is a display company which produces a Perspex display box which would accommodate the CakeBox models perfectly!

    I agree with you about seeing the actual models ‘In the flesh’, Richard! But, by the end of the four 2019 challenges, there will be quite a collection, especially if you include the 2018 Challenge, as well! Marlyn

    Thanks Mikkel - As usual, I was working right up to the wire! Will try and take some more close up shots. Marlyn

    What a great image! I think this will be a fascinating model and I rather like the ‘Tin Chapel’ option? :)

    No pressure, Luke?!!

    I’ve been modelling in paper and card mainly since returning to modelling, Grahame, but just found my old stock of miscellaneous Plastikard in the attic. Very inspired by your lovely work, so might have a go at a small project to compare a card model with a Plastikard version.

    Annie - you should compile your images as an e-book! Great research and interpretations! Marlyn

    Think the layout would have to be two sided, if I was to model the Brünig line - one side as a lake shore view, the other on higher ground?

    Thank you, Edwardian! Now it’s time to catch up on your modelmaking, as well as some of my other favourites here on the Forum!

    Some lovely weathering, Stubby - weathering locomotives and wagons is next on my to-do list. I have given in and purchased one of these little Ruston’s - now I need to create a small shunting layout to do it justice!

    Hi Bill - when I was in primary school, in the early 1960s, we had the opportunity to travel on a TV train trip from Edinburgh to Glasgow, followed by a boat trip down the River Clyde to Dunoon. Much to our teacher’s disgust, Cliff Richard was singing ‘Summer Holiday’ as part of the TV transmission!

    Two from me: “Waverley” and “Lake Brienz”?

    An interesting new topic, Kevin, and in N gauge?

    Lovely cobble detail, Kevin! I also like that little special staithe kit.
  17. Marly51
    Lovely model, Dufus, and the internal details are a bonus! I think a few of us will keep adding to our models After the deadline!

    Wow - what a fantastic collection of photographs, Paul! Many thanks for sharing! Marlyn

    Your photographs from your recent trip are wonderful and a great reference! I’d love a return trip to Switzerland, Paul! Maybe next year?

    I love your original concept, the little cameos and detailed modelling, Dickon, and agree with your choice to have the backdrop!

    Joejab95 - love your initial drawings, the orange Sentinel will look great and an arc welder would certainly bring the model to life. Working for Balfour Beatty should put you in a good place for accessing reference images for your backscene?

    You’re very kind Kevin and Richard, but the standard of modelmaking and the range of ideas is really great! Thanks also to everyone who encouraged me to keep going with this model, which was originally intended for the round ‘Waiting for the Train’! I get there in the end. “Good luck” to everyone this time round!! Marlyn

    Thanks PaulRhB, Kevin and Northroader for your kind comments! It was a challenge to work in 2mm scale, but very enjoyable and I am also learning more about Swiss railways at the same time!
  24. Marly51
    Photos for challenge! I still have some more tweaking to do, but time was up!!

    Hi Kevin, I bought the gravel and grass mats for my earlier ‘tin-plate’ cakebox and thought they worked fine in the smaller scale for this more ‘manicured’ landscape.
