THS92-GWR-NO

Hi Chris! Now I've had the pleasure of reading this thread. It looks terrific! Having started on a branch terminus layout for my main layout I've found it interesting to read about your progress here. Got any ballasting tips?

Hey John! I must say I love this layout. Have gone through most of this thread, but I got a couple questions for you I haven't found Are all your buildings from Timber Tracks?

Ah, thanks! Found a few on ebay, will have to look deeper into that! From childhood I've always had an allergy to cardboard kits I see, also important with a good GWR canopy, that doesn't seem to have been used in that design by any others? That is a very good point indeed. . I just want my stations to give that GWR feeling, not some easy standard Hornby buildings like the ones I got to start with.

Hello all So here I am, posting a bit more about the 00 gauge Great Western Model Railway in the arctic north of Tromsø, Norway. Currently the main sheds are being created and the branchline area. The basic mainline has been prepared too. At current I use Hornby track and point motors, Dapol water tower, motorised and Dapol semaphore signals. The layout is DCC using Roco Z21 digital controlsystem and mostly I use Zimo sound decoders from Youchoos.co.uk. Current trackplan is as follows Here are preliminary photos of the branchline station area. Station building and signalbox will be swapped for better GWR buildings. Next to the sheds there will be a quarry plant, using Ratio coaling plant.

Ah, thanks for the description

Great response guys! But not very light and dark stone over that building? Thought also most GWR stations were brick and not stone? The lcut.co.uk ones are already cut? Whereas scalescenes need cutting? Have a Wills craftman kit that I've given up on due to cutting

Hi all, your Norwegian GWR probie here *waves* I am in need of your guidance here I'm trying to find good kits for GWR stations. I'm modelling in 00, going to have two mainline stations and a branch-line station. Found gaugemasters Mortimer that I feel is a mainline station I can use https://www.gaugemasterretail.com/magento/gaugemaster-gm430.html Oxford rail/Hornby GWR station looks very much like a mainline station too But, I am really struggeling to find a good branch-line station. Am considering gaugemasters Fordhampton, but not sure https://www.gaugemasterretail.com/magento/gaugemaster-gm401.html Need help here guys and gals
