Sweet pea

The baseboard and traverse look great and I love your layout design.

I would like to enter something along the lines of a working level crossing...

 

Agreed, a refresher on what size a coke box actually is, would be useful.

 

 

Kev.

Hi Kev as far as I know the model must fit in a standard 8 by 8 by 6 inch cake box with at least two railway items.

Is a specific theme really needed - or would it just cramp some people's style?

 

Some of us are struggling to rediscover our modelmaking mojo (whatever that was).

 

Personally, I'd prefer the whole thing left open-ended - just a couple of railway related items (eg wagon + track) - and allow us to come up with our own ideas, please. That sort of thing would suit me just fine - and I doubt if I'd be alone in this regard.

 

 

Huw.

Hi Huw I agree. A couple of railway items and an open competition sounds great. 

I know mentioned a theme as other cakebox challengers have had one.

Phil I will be up for this, have you thought of a theme yet.

Nice work on the structure of the baseboard. I like the building you are going to scratchbuild.

Looking forward to seeing more progress.

I absolutely love the scrap yard area of this layout, life like and very realistic.

I agree the Peckett is a lovely looking loco and is one I hope to purchase very soon. I like your idea of a small photo plank and the design of your layout. 

I will be watching with great interest.

Nice work on the mechanism. It will be great to see a little video of the crane operating.

This crane is going to look great with a working mechanism.

Love the crane it looks great.

You have produced a lovely little micro layout. I like the attention to detail throughout the layout build. Have a lovely Christmas.

Hi Laurence the link below is where I purchased the book from.

Threat myself to a book of Barclays 150 years. Looking forward to reading it.

Nice modelling Adrian, the layout is coming together nicely.

A very worthy cause Phil.

Lovely transformations Dave, I like the weathered with look on the Barclays.

The industrial buildings do look good from the scalescenes boxfile kit. Looking forward to seeing more of this build.

Thomas it’s these little bits of detail that makes the layout come to life.

Alex you deserve the prize as you have produced another wonderful layout. The Southern Terrier looks awesome, well done mate.

Lovely little layout, nicely modelled.

Thank you sir douglas for the replies to my message. Thank you both for the links.

This might sound like a silly question so here goes. I’m have a change of direction regarding my railway modelling. 
Are there any members on the forum solely concentrate on wagon kit building. 

Looking forward to watching this progress.

Hi Sam, I have a spare kit if anybody is interested. I am not likely to build this anytime soon so it's a shame just to leave on the shelf. PM if anybody would like it.

Hi Mike this is a nice gesture, it’s great to see members helping one another.

Hi I’m so looking forward to following this build. The Killin station intrigued me when watching the tv.
