Sweet pea

Merry Christmas Tom. You have some nice reading material and look forward to your next layout build as I am a big fan of your Scaca Fell Forestry Crossing layout.

Mol this sounds like it's going to be an interesting kit build.

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Christmas! This thread started almost a year ago, I've had a fair few views, comments and likes in that time and I've enjoyed sharing my random updates along the way.

 

Next year, I might even crack on and get the layout finished...no promises though!

Merry Christmas Matt, look forward to more of your modelling.

Your class 50s look awesome.

Lovely pictures, the figures along with the loco detailing looks loads better.

A stunning model.

Hi Andy enjoyed the video, it's nice seeing the estuary coming together now. Looking forward to seeing the Christmas eve video. 

Mol the rake of steel high wagons do look very good and the container flats are progressing nicely.

Stu nice to see you modelling in another scale, look forward to seeing this layout build develop.

Mol progress on the wagons look great.

So the CAD is done, I'm pretty happy with the general look of it all.

 

 

The track arrived on Monday (superb service from Derails!), but still no sign of the Hunslet or the baseboards unfortunately. Over the last couple of days I've got the concrete hardstanding sections printed out as these will dictate exactly where the track needs to be laid. These will be glued down prior to being clad in Scalescenes textures as I'll need to ballast up to them and then weather the track work in. To make things easier in the long run, I've used the sections as templates to pre-cut the concrete sheets so I can just glue them straight down when everything else is done. I also treated myself to the container set for a bit more clutter about the place.

 

 

 

This is looking good Alex.

This is looking good.

Mike I have to say that's a great looking yard crane.

Daniel thanks for sharing the photos of your siding, nicely modelled throughout with some lovely detailed touches. 

Nicely done Alex.

Alex it's great that you are going to build a layout in another gauge. If it's anything to go by your oo gauge layouts it will be an interesting build.

The gate house is looking great.

Matt you have once again produced a lovely painted and weathered van. 

I have just acquired a new Hornby Ruston army loco. The loco is from Era 4. What I would like to know is what types of wagons the Ruston army loco would have hauled.

Any help of advice will be appreciated.

Mol a lovely piece of kit especially for cleaning of metals.

Mol the rack work on the wagon looks very good. 

Hi Andy another great video. 

Nice work modelling the rear low relief section of this lovely little layout. I like the colour and pattern of the brick paper. 

Jim I'm intrigued with one of the pictures of the Acton lane power station. It shows Little Barford at a siding.

The bit that interests me in the picture is the design of the security fencing. It looks like it's made from concrete posts with concrete sections fitted in between the posts and wire along the top.

I wonder if any model suppliers have actually made these types of fences as I would like some.

The Janus shunter looks great.

Hi MOL the detail in the framework and the solder joins look very nicely done. The woodwork on the wagon base is very nice indeed.
