    That is looking great. Cheers David

    That must have startled the crew of the pannier!

    It worked for me.i did not touch GQS for a year and instead built a diorama of my local station, Embo, in Gauge 3 on the back of an old door

    I did make a start about 18 months ago then set it aside

    I plan to make the roof in three parts in brass. Each part will lift off if needed.

    That trackwork is lovely. I have some work to do on mine. I have to rework the platform 2 road. It has a kink in it which does not work caused by using proprietary points and trying to fit it all in one side of a baseboard joint. All fixable though!
  7. David Bell
    Sorry to hear that. I always saw your version as an inspiration despite the fact I was copping out a bit and using proprietary OO.

    If the trains don't tell you where you are the busses surely will. How are you getting on with your rather more scale version of GQS?

    Great to see this is on to the next stage. Just keeps getting better!

    Been fencing today and have placed but not installed the street lights on the Parliamentary Road module. The back of the fence is more prominent than the front given its location on the layout. The fence posts are 1mm square brass to give the whole thing some strength.

    I like that idea a lot. You previous version looked very convincing. I also think it will enhance and go well with the quayside scene. Cheers David

    Nothing wrong with your memory there Matt. There is a picture of Flying Scotsman at GQS Platform 1 in Ann Glen's book .The caption says the picture is dated October 1983.

    I have made a start on the scenic module which sits over the tunnel. It is a representation of Parliamentary Road which ran east from roughly the end of Sauchiehall Street. It was a major road with double tram tracks down the middle. It is all gone now. I dont intend to make a model of what was actually at the street at this point. Instead I will place a typical Glasgow tenement at the rear. Cheers David

    That is looking brilliant. The wide shot really shows how you have come on and you have really captured the character of Mallaig. A great piece of work Cheers David

    Happy days indeed

    Yes I am North of you both. I live a mile or so north of Dornoch. That said I am familiar with your home turf. I lived in Craigearn, near Monymusk/ Kemnay for 30 years.

    Hi Andy, Enjoyed the video. The lay of the land is looking good. Cheers David

    In the end I took 25mm off the walls. It looks a lot better now!

    Now that I have set the girder in place and stared at it for 24 hours I have realised I have made the walls a little too high, by about 20mm. What is 5 feet amongst friends! Fortunately none of the walls are fixed to the layout yet so they can be adjusted reasonably easily

    This came out of the jig after an hour or so of sticking bits of plastic together. Only another three to do!
  21. David Bell
    I have made a couple of simple jigs to make the bridge girders
  22. David Bell
    Absolutely!
  23. David Bell
    That's a thought. I plan to line the tunnel for 18 inches or so. It'll be interesting to see how that works sound wise. I suspect it might deaden the sound but we shall see.
  24. David Bell
    They are absolutely lovely

    Hi Matt, It is Slaters 7mm dressed stone, it seems to look about right.
